I firmly believe that every field of study plays a crucial role in the development of our nation. Artificial Intelligence (AI) serves as a powerful tool that can help us appreciate the potential and prosperity within our respective professions while enhancing our competitiveness in this rapidly evolving era.
Fifteen years ago, my involvement as a volunteer in the United Nations World Summit Awards resulted in significant achievements for our nation. I had the privilege of nominating world-class innovators from our own ecosystem, leading to numerous accolades in both junior and senior categories.
In the near future, AI-Creativity Laboratory (a virtual incubation) which is our Failure Recovery Intervention project for all, will seem effortless when we can recognize as a society of change-makers the potential of profitable micro-start-ups that will evolve and contribute substantially to our economy, enticing investors to participate actively.
The program aims to empower these young ones to use AI to re-imagine innovative solutions and services out of their respective fields and prepare them for the evolving e-job market productivity and control.
I seek your unwavering support, whether from the private sector or government, to champion this essential endeavour, especially as we are committed to spearheading an affordable and transformative re-learning landscape focused on AI4all professions upskilling by the year 2030 for millions to benefit across Africa.
