South Africa and Egypt Lead in Homegrown AI Dev in Africa
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on May 25, 2019, 9:38 AMI can say without ambiguity that Egypt and South Africa are winning the AI race in Africa, organically and homegrown. Yes, due to their better universities, they have startups doing great things in the space. Other African countries are following largely the top-down model – get multinationals to open AI centers in our domains with the startup readiness still muted. The progress of Cognitev is amazing, as Nnamdi reports, when you see what it has done for Samsung, Citibank, etc.
