Abstract

The artificial intelligence (AI) debate is increasingly polarized in Africa, mirroring a trend across the globe. On one side, utopian headlines, such as "5 Ways To Harness AI And End Poverty Forever," claim that AI will revolutionize development. On the other, warnings that "AI Is Bad News for the Global South" paint the technology as an inevitable amplifier of inequality and exploitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
