While he decried the lack of the needed digital foundation in many African countries to aid the smooth deployment of AI, Dr Bawumia also offered solutions by outlining six policy points for the continent. Below are the six concrete commitments Dr. Bawumia proposed for Africa to implement. Build AI foundations: innvest to make power available and reliable, broadband, and secure data infrastructure should also be a national priority aligned to continental strategy. Build trustworthy data ecosystems: digitalization to produce the requisite quality data, representativeness, and lawful governance, so African AI reflects African realities and protects rights. With the above implemented, Dr Bawumia was of the firm belief that Africa will be a leader in the global AI narratives.
