African Nations Step into AI Era Amid Growing Interest
Interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged in South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya during the first half of 2024, with Google Search trends showing significant increases. In Kenya, interest grew by 150%, in Nigeria by 130%, and in South Africa by 120% compared to the same period in 2023. This rise has positioned Kenya fourth in Africa and 13th globally in AI interest.
This growing interest in AI is seen as a major profit opportunity for investors, particularly with the pre-sale of BRED, a new Memecoin that has the potential to convert $100 into $5,000. The increase in AI interest is attributed to its potential applications in various sectors, including medicine, resource management, and process automation. However, there are concerns about the ethical and social implications of these technologies, which could lead to dehumanizing processes and negative societal impacts if not managed responsibly.
Separately, the Economics Conference 2024 will be held at the National University of Cuyo (UNCUYO), organized by the Center for Economic Research and Engagement (CIVE). The conference, themed "Building the Future of College and Community," will feature discussions and presentations by researchers, professors, students, and recent graduates on the latest research in economic sciences. The event will commence on August 28th at 5:00 p.m., and attendees are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items to the Food Bank in Mendoza.
