A new GSMA report puts forward the huge potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to support Africa’s socio-economic growth particularly for sectors like agriculture, energy and climate action.
The report titled: AI for Africa: Use cases delivering impact identified over 90 AI use case applications in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa with 49% related to agriculture, 26% to climate action and 24% to the energy sector.
AI is being deployed in the energy sector, especially in Nigeria, where emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) act as an entry point for advanced data analytics in smart energy management.
Today, AI-enabled solutions in Africa are improving both on-grid infrastructure and off-grid systems, with use cases such as predictive maintenance, smart energy management, energy access assessment and productive use financing.
