The two-day pan-African AI conference co-hosted by the United States concluded Wednesday in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub.
Hundreds of delegates including public officials, tech leaders, policy makers, academics and entrepreneurs attended the conference to hold talks about the development and use of safe, secure and trustworthy AI systems in Africa.
The U.S. deputy secretary of state, Kurt Campbell, spoke at the summit about the opportunity at hand.
“A global technology revolution is well under way — the race to develop and deploy new technologies, including artificial intelligence, is already shaping everything about our lives,” said Campbell.
