🚀 Unlocking Nigeria's AI Potential... A Game-Changer for Sustainable Development 🌍 The recently released National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (NAIS) marks a pivotal moment for Nigeria, positioning the nation to harness AI's transformative power for inclusive growth and innovation. As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria is uniquely poised to leverage AI to tackle pressing socio-economic challenges, enhance productivity, and drive sustainable development. Significance of the NAIS: 🚀 Strategic Vision: The NAIS aims to establish Nigeria as a global leader in AI, promoting responsible and ethical innovation. 🚀 Economic Growth: With projections estimating the Nigerian AI market to reach $434.4 million by 2026, this strategy is set to accelerate economic growth and create job opportunities. 🚀 Social Impact: By aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, AI can significantly improve sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and education, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians. How to Actualize This Vision: Here are my thought. 1. Invest in Infrastructure: Prioritize the development of digital infrastructure to support AI initiatives. 2. Skill Development: Launch national AI skill initiatives to equip the workforce with necessary competencies. 3. Foster Collaboration: Encourage partnerships between government, academia, and industry to drive innovation and share best practices. 4. Promote Ethical AI: Establish frameworks for responsible AI use, ensuring that advancements benefit all segments of society. The NAIS is not just a document; it's a roadmap to a brighter future. By embracing AI, Nigeria can lead the way in transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and prosperity. Let's work together to turn this vision into reality! 💡🤝 If you found value in this post, please repost ♻ For start-up and digital health content, follow Great Oyita.

Data Storyteller: Translating Complex Information into Clear Business Strategies | Innovating for Africa with AI @ChatMtaani
The potential for AI is incredible on this beautiful green continent. A lot of effort and thought needs to go into how to get Africa on the AI global map in a sustainable, safe, and inclusive way to preserve the continent's rich cultural heritage and natural resources while fostering economic growth and social development.

Last week I was in Tanzania with UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) and I had the pleasure to meet and interact with the Governments of Tanzania and Zanzibar discussing various development issues related to industrialisation. How AI policies and data governance could bring a catalytic impact on development in Africa? Africa has the unique chance to frame its AI landscape and exploit the transformative power of AI to drive innovation, economic growth, and societal development. The key pillars for a successful AI strategy are: • Human capital, which underscores the importance of educational development in respect of AI. This pillar addresses the relevance of enhancing the proficiencies, competencies and understanding of individuals regarding using and developing artificial intelligence solutions. • From Lab to Market initiatives that foster research, development and innovation. • Networking, cooperation and collaboration, in pursuit of joint partnerships across private and/or public sectors to favourably impact the uptake of AI. • Fostering the development of digital and telecommunication infrastructure to pursue efficient data collection and usage. • Effective regulation that is premised on the infusion of ethics and international best practices. What other advantages do you see for Africa in its journey to AI? #AIforAfrica #ResponsibleAI #AIpolicies #AIforgood

Nigeria set to lead the AI landscape in Africa By Morayo Koku The federal government has revealed that Nigeria would be a major player in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) community following development of a national strategy on AI. This was disclosed by the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, at a workshop themed “Developing the High-level Strategy and implementation Plan for a National AI Strategy for Nigeria.”. The organisers include the Ministry of Communications, Innovations and Digital Economy in conjunction with NITDA, the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI), Galaxy Backbone (GBB), and Google, amongst others. At the commencement of the four-day stakeholders’ workshop, Tijani commended Nigeria's commitment to AI, stating, "We are one of the few countries investing in talents, IA, computers, which most countries in Africa are not doing. So, I think we can give leadership locally and also regionally, and in short contribute globally as well." He stressed the need for Nigeria to advance in AI as this is a global phenomenon that the country must leverage. The Director General, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Dr. Kashifu Abdullahi, voiced support for the national AI strategy, which is a plan developed by the Federal Government to guide its activities and investments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). He also expressed optimism as it would assist with economic diversification. Clarifying that "AI is beyond just looking at it as a technology but it is a transformational technology that we can apply across sectors to boost the economy." “If we get it right, it will help us to achieve a lot as a nation. We can use AI to develop economic diversification strategies in Nigeria and Africa. So, we can design our economy diversification strategy with AI in mind.", He added. The Director General of NITDA also emphasized the benefit of adopting the approach saying it is "fundamental because it will help us to use our diversity and expertise to create a strategy that is inclusive and also reflects our nation’s consensus.” #octavetunenews #melody #AINigeria
