The recent GEM25 event hosted by Harvard’s Center for International Development brought together a panel of esteemed policy and technology experts from emerging economies to discuss the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into national strategies and societies. The panel, consisting of Teresa Clarke, Nanjira Sambuli, Dr. Shikoh Gitau, Umar Saif, and moderated by Han Sheng Chia, shared key insights that shed light on the potential and challenges of AI adoption in these regions.

Teresa Clarke shared findings from a recent Africa.com survey, revealing that a majority of respondents from Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa expressed optimism about the positive impact of AI on Africa. Education, healthcare, and agriculture were identified as sectors with the most potential for AI integration, although concerns about job displacement, ethical dilemmas, and transparency issues were also prominent. Notably, African respondents emphasized the importance of culturally-sensitive AI solutions tailored to address the unique challenges faced by their communities.

Infrastructure, particularly reliable electricity supply, emerged as a critical foundation for harnessing AI benefits in emerging economies. Clarke highlighted the substantial power requirements of AI technology and emphasized the need for investments in robust digital infrastructure to effectively leverage AI capabilities.

AI was portrayed as a strategic partner rather than just a tool, with Clarke emphasizing the transformative role of AI in decision-making processes at all levels of organizations. The panelists underscored the importance of human insight alongside AI technology, citing examples where cultural context and human intelligence were essential in interpreting AI-generated insights accurately.

Addressing concerns about bias in AI systems, the panel stressed the importance of diverse representation in AI development to mitigate biases and ensure equitable AI systems. The localization of data assets was also highlighted as crucial for emerging economies to compete globally, emphasizing the need for localized data infrastructure to ensure data access speeds and competitive parity.

In conclusion, the GEM25 panel painted a picture of a future where AI holds tremendous promise for emerging economies, provided that foundational issues such as infrastructure, representation, and localized data ownership are effectively addressed. The full panel discussion can be viewed below for further insights into the transformative potential of AI in these regions.
