AI is not coming — it’s already here.

Over 700 million people use ChatGPT every week, but Africa is barely in the room. While countries like Singapore and Canada are leading the AI revolution, nations across Africa are at risk of being locked out, becoming consumers, not creators.

In this powerful message, we explore:
▪️The massive AI adoption gap between Africa and the rest of the world.
▪️How AI is transforming education, business, and governance globally.
▪️Why African youth must stop scrolling and start building.
The five key actions African leaders can take to make us competitive in the AI era.

This is a wake-up call for Africa’s youth, innovators, and policymakers.

The AI revolution will not wait for us, we either shape it, or we’ll be shaped by it.
