"My vision of a single digital African market is a continent that has leveraged technology to erase geographical boundaries for the socio-economic benefit of the citizens" emphasized CEO Lacina Koné during the Shaping Africa's #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) future summit yesterday at the Africa Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa. He highlighted the Pan-African AI blueprint to advocate for an open, inclusive, and sustainable AI approach with global standards, the Smart Continental backbone for a Pan-African fiber optic network, and the Smart Africa Trust Alliance (SATA) among the Smart Africa key initiatives towards a unified #digitalpolicy.

It's inspiring to see Smart Africa's CEO Lacina Koné articulating such a bold and transformative vision for the continent! The idea of leveraging technology to create a single digital African market is truly exciting and has the potential to revolutionize socio-economic development across the continent. I'm particularly intrigued by the mention of a Pan-African AI blueprint. In an era where AI is rapidly reshaping global economies, it's crucial for Africa to have a unified, strategic approach. I'd love to hear more about how this blueprint plans to ensure that AI development in Africa is indeed open, inclusive, and sustainable.
