Artificial Intelligence is often hailed as a transformative force for Africa’s development—promising breakthroughs in healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance. But beyond the headlines, significant challenges remain. From weak data infrastructure and regulatory uncertainty to limited access to capital and technical skills, African markets face real hurdles in building inclusive, scalable AI ecosystems.

Join Invest Africa and Eversheds Sutherland for a timely panel discussion that cuts through the noise to explore the practical realities of AI deployment across the continent. Our expert speakers will unpack the opportunities and risks of AI adoption in African contexts, with a focus on how policymakers, investors, and businesses can strike the right balance between innovation and regulation.

The conversation will also explore how to avoid deepening existing inequalities, how African nations can assert greater agency in global AI governance, and what responsible AI development looks like in practice.

Convening thought leaders from across technology, law, investment, and policy, this event will foster meaningful dialogue and shape strategies that move beyond hype, and towards sustainable, equitable AI outcomes for Africa.
