Our edge partly stems from our proprietary data artificial intelligence (neural network) platform W/OS:
“spotting anomalies before they become perceptible trends is an example of where W/OS gives us an evolutionary advantage” — M. Adanan
African Open AI Institute
In the dawn of a new era of advanced artificial intelligence (AI), such as Deep Learning, led by Big Tech, African Open AI Institute’s purpose is:
“safeguard Africa’s future”, by enabling Africa to realise its half a trillion dollar AI economy by 2030 potential, underpinned by Ethical AI, Trustworthy AI and Explainable AI etc
Hence, the African Open AI Institute is building large AI models specific to Africa for the first time ever.

Artificial intelligence (AI)’s idiosyncrasies, such as relative primacy of data over patents in monetisation, enables Africans to carve out niches

W/OS pilot: to make carbon labelling affordable for farmers, enabling farmers to access climate finance such as sustainability linked loans.
How will the global “AI arms race” affect Africa (short)
Why Africa, why now
🌍 Africa has crossed an inflection point
Accelerated digitalisation:
in-app purchases grew by a remarkable 136% in Q2 21. It’s “leapfrogging” to the new economy (China is No. 2 in AI with a GDP PPP < 1/3 of US’)
Regional market integration (ACFTA):
for the first time, the African continent is becoming a single market
its climate finance investment opportunity, a subset of green finance, will be worth at least $3 trillion by 2030
US-China decoupling:
the economic decoupling between the US and China has created a window of opportunity
Best demographic dividend, such as the largest workforce in the world by 2050, among largest diaspora networks etc…
A sustainable world hinges on technological innovation and Africa
Technology, climate smart agriculture for example, is what will turn Africa, home to 60% of the world’s arable land, into the bread basket of the world
The productivity gap between African and US farmers is 60:1, owing to technology
Hence, the African Inclusive Future of Work & Open AI Institute is building large AI models specific to Africa for the first time ever.
African Inclusive Future of Work & Open AI Institute’s R&D
Africa’s industrialisation, industry 4.0 and future of work 🦾
Africa has about 7 years leeway before industry 4.0 redefines industrialisation
Industry 4.0 blurs the manufacturing vs services economy dichotomy
Apple is the most valuable firm in the world, yet it doesn’t make any of the devices it sells, it designs them, or consumer tech giant Tencent leads China’s manufacturing sector‘s digitalisation.
