Intel and the African Development Bank (ADB) have joined forces in a groundbreaking initiative to provide advanced artificial intelligence (AI) training to three million Africans and 30,000 government officials. The ADB believes that this training will bring about a significant transformation in the African digital landscape and contribute to overall economic development. The program aims to address various socio-economic challenges and improve efficiency in key sectors such as agriculture, health, and education.
Intel has expressed its dedication to making AI education accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, by eliminating barriers related to geography, gender, and ethnicity. Through this partnership, African countries and regional organizations will receive support in developing cohesive policies and regulations for AI, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, data, and cloud technologies. This collaboration is expected to play a pivotal role in driving innovation and technological advancement across the continent.
