On this episode of Technogram by Redington, we separate AI fact from fiction. Peter Lacey, Head of Commercial for the Middle East and Africa at Acer, explains why AI isn't a magic solution, where its limitations lie, and why businesses are shifting from AI hype to practical adoption. From AI-ready devices and edge computing to sustainability, governance, and the role of human judgement, he shares what organizations need to know before putting AI to work. Key Takeaways:

• AI predicts patterns — it doesn't think like humans. Its outputs can lack context, reflect bias, and should always be validated.
• The greatest value from AI comes from augmenting people, automating repetitive tasks while leaving creativity, judgement, and decision-making to humans.
• The future of AI is moving closer to the user. AI-ready devices, responsible governance, and sustainable computing will define the next phase of adoption.

On the latest episode of Technogram by Redington, Shaahid Amod, Strategic Partner Manager, Africa Cluster at Trend AI, joins us live from GITEX Kenya to discuss the growing importance of AI governance, security, and responsible AI adoption across Africa. From data sovereignty and enterprise AI to governance frameworks and cybersecurity, this conversation explores how organizations can embrace AI without compromising trust.

Takeaways:

• AI adoption must go hand in hand with governance to protect sensitive data and reduce business risk.

• Organizations should define clear AI objectives before investing, ensuring technology delivers measurable business value.

• Successful AI transformation is ultimately about empowering people—with security, training, and responsible innovation at the core.

On this episode of Technogram by Redington, we explore why AI PCs are becoming the next major shift in personal and business computing. Calvin Tolo, Regional Country Manager at MSI, discusses how on-device AI is transforming productivity, creativity, gaming, and data privacy, while explaining why AI-ready devices are reshaping the way people work and create. He also shares why local accessibility, technical support, and customer education will be key to accelerating AI adoption across Africa.

Key Takeaways:

• AI PCs bring AI closer to the user, improving performance, protecting privacy, and enabling faster, more efficient workflows without relying entirely on the cloud.

• The next generation of creators, developers, and gamers needs more than powerful hardware — they need access to the right tools, support, and opportunities to compete globally.

• Successful AI adoption depends on more than technology. Local availability, trusted support, and customer education are essential to helping users realise the full value of AI PCs.
