Webinar - Business Digital Transformation - The Future of Work in the AI Age.

Aim/Purpose
This webinar will explore the role of AI and digital transformation in the Global South. As digital transformation reshapes industries, AI emerges as a key driver of efficiency and innovation. Sectors such as banking, real estate, and education are leveraging AI to enhance workflows, particularly in the Global South, where it is viewed as a tool for accelerated development.

However, with past technology failures in developing countries reaching up to 85%, uncritical AI adoption poses significant risks. This webinar aims to bring together experts from academia, industry, and government to discuss the progress, challenges, and strategies for effective AI-driven transformation in sub-Saharan Africa.
