Executives estimate that 40% of their workforce will need to reskill in the next three years as a result of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our Impact Areas
Digitalization and AI are changing the needs of the workforce, creating opportunities for individuals to pursue new careers and thrive in the digital economy. For Africa to benefit, we must innovate our methods and update skills to ensure that African workers stay in step with and reap the benefits of technological progress.
71% of leaders are likely to hire less experienced candidates with AI skills, than a more experienced one without them.
AI Preparedness
At AI-DDAIS we are committed to ensuring that Africa is fully prepared to participate in and benefit from the ongoing AI revolution. Our AI preparedness initiatives empower African businesses, governments, and individuals to leverage the transformative power of artificial intelligence to drive positive development and sustainable growth across the continent.
Research
Our next key impact area is research, where we engage in both commissioned and self-initiated studies focused on digitalisation, data, and AI, especially in relation to societal impacts. This research is critical for shaping policies, guiding best practices, and influencing the development and implementation of technologies in ways that benefit society while minimising potential harms. Through our research efforts, we aim to ensure that these technologies are developed and rolled out in a manner that aligns with the needs and values of African communities.
Unlocking the value of data
At AI-DDAIS, we believe that data is currency. Africa’s growth and global standing depend to a significant extent on its ability to realise the immense value locked within its data. Our work in this space revolves around equipping businesses, governments, organisations, and institutions with the tools and understanding necessary to harness the full potential of data. By viewing data as a critical asset, organisations can unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth. We guide institutions to source the right kind of data, tailored to their needs and contexts, ensuring that data-driven insights are both accurate and actionable. We empower our clients to extract meaningful insights from data for driving efficiency in decision-making and increasing impact or profits.
African data has a unique role to play in shaping global markets and industries. By realising the global significance of our data, we ensure that Africa’s voice and needs are heard on the world stage. Data collected in Africa must be used to inform solutions that address the real and unique challenges faced by African societies. By doing so, organisations can create products, services, and innovations that resonate with African markets and communities, leading to stronger market connections and improved societal outcomes. This focus on data not only enhances business operations but also fosters the development of solutions that respond to Africa’s specific challenges.
Thought Leadership and Knowledge Management
We amplify Africa’s voice in global discussions on technological development, focusing on various societal aspects, including ethics, safety, context, and impact. By providing thought leadership and managing knowledge across the African continent, we ensure that Africa is integrated into the global stage, participating actively in shaping the discourse around these technologies. Our insights ensure that African perspectives are considered in global discussions, keeping the continent engaged and influential in the ongoing technological revolution.
