The Perils of AI

We pick up our series on the fast-arriving future of AI and ask what it means for Nigeria and the wider continent - especially for countries not yet positioned to shape the technology.

This episode unpacks China’s new “AI Plus” strategy, which aims to turn AI into everyday infrastructure across the economy and the state. We explore what a very practical approach to AI could mean for African countries and map the risks.
