This is a great article by Tevin and the team, thanks for sharing. We need to democratize AI innovation if we want to reach that level where the technology addresses our specific African realities, like Mpesa. My starting point would be policies that facilitate the creation data ecosystem that supports data access and use by the smaller players. Some of the oligopolies we have in the market are holding data that they have no interest in and maybe also lack the capacity to use. How can we incentivise them to open up this data?

Hi Listers, I hope you are well. There has been a push to regulate AI in Kenya and Africa. But is this a good move, will it stifle innovation in Africa. Read the paper and let's have a chat about it. Typed by Thumb👍
