The Role of African Regulators in shaping the future of A.I. and Digital investments

Event Details

The disruption of the digital space came with benefits and risks. With the continuous rise of AI comes the need for Africa as a continent to take strategic steps towards regulating and tapping into the benefits of AI for African businesses. But what role or trajectory must African regulators follow in shaping the future of AI and digital investments in Africa?

Description

There is no end to the pursuit of knowledge. In this age, where AI has disrupted the digital space and digital investments; where developed countries are playing catch-up to maintain order and sanity in the digital industry, Africa regulators and businesses must consider its own tailored approach towards reaping the benefits of AI whilst controlling the risks.

 

It is for this reason that Jackson, Etti & Edu – a pan-African sector focused firm, is organizing an African wide webinar that will bring to light the difficult discussions and insights around AI, digital technology, and investments. We are inviting regulators, businesses, and experts from various African countries. We humbly invite you, your team members, and other key departments in the company to register for free and join in the knowledge sharing session.
