New African Magazine Releases the 100 Most Influential Africans of 2024

New African Magazine, based in London, has recently unveiled its annual list of the 100 Most Influential Africans of 2024. This highly anticipated list recognizes individuals from various fields and sectors who have made significant contributions to the continent and the world over the past year.

The compilation of the 100 Most Influential Africans serves as a celebration of the achievements of these individuals, highlighting their positive impact on society. One reader of New African likened the feature to a “large family get-together,” where the accomplishments of these influential figures are shared and celebrated.

Anver Versi, the Editor of New African, expressed his thoughts on the list, stating, “I had never thought of our 100 Most Influential Africans feature in quite that way, but now I think our friend has really nailed it and given it a special African flavor, the Ubuntu motto – I am because we are.”

Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change Take Center Stage

The 2024 list showcases the significant role that African experts play in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Experts like Abeba Birhane, Rediet Abebe, and Joy Buolamwini are addressing ethical concerns and biases in AI algorithms, shedding light on the importance of responsible AI development.

In the realm of climate change, leaders like Ibrahima Cheikh Diong and Michael Kakande are at the forefront of advocating for climate justice and sustainability. Their efforts in addressing the climate crisis have garnered recognition and earned them a spot on the prestigious list.
