@businessinsiderssa: “The wealthiest Africans 10 years from now will be young people sitting in their bedrooms, building AI applications.” In a recent conversation with Dr. James Manyika, Zimbabwean businessman and Econet CEO Strive Masiyiwa predicted that Africa’s future billionaires will emerge from young innovators developing AI solutions for agriculture, food security, and healthcare. According to Masiyiwa, the next generation of wealth is already taking shape in bedrooms and workshops across the continent. When African youth are empowered to build with AI, Africa won’t just participate in the global tech economy- it will help shape it. Do you agree?
That's a lie, Dangote will still be the richest dude in Africa 😂😂
