Communications Minister Mondli Gungubele says AI can bring in $136 b illion work benefits for SA
He was giving the keynote address at the National AI Summit at the Johannesburg Business School in Auckland Park this morning.
The gathering stems from a report of the presidential commission on the fourth industrial revolution which emphasises the need for a comprehensive approach to the adaptation of AI technology in the country. Gungubele was sharing the contents of the National AI Plan with key stakeholders and the ICT industry.Gugubele says, “Why do so many people who are developed in this digital technology leave South Africa, they’ve got no work to do here. How do we produce people whom we don’t know how to use, that’s the huge challenge. As a result, they are taken all over the world by Europe, America and all over the world.
“The economic benefit of the adoption of AI has been well documented, for example in a study conducted by the access partnership, it is projected that South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya stand to benefit $ 136 billion on the adaptation and use of AI,” he adds.
