Unlocking AI’s transformative potential in South Africa

By Richard Shrewry [iLeadLAB Manager at Regent Business School] 26 July 2024 – As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to supercharge every aspect of business and society, South Africa stands at a critical juncture. Rather than fearing job displacement, we can harness AI to drive widespread growth and prosperity. By fostering local innovation, investing in AI education, and creating a conducive regulatory environment, we can empower citizens and businesses alike. In an insightful piece, Richard Shrewry, Regent Business School’s iLeadLAB Manager, explores how AI can enhance society, bridge gaps, and create new opportunities, all while preserving the essential human element.

In the heart of our country, a quiet revolution is underway. This revolution, marked not by upheaval but by the gentle hum of computers and the boundless curiosity of students and innovators, is reshaping the landscape of opportunity through the power of artificial intelligence (AI). This is a story about using AI to enhance, not replace, the human element in society, particularly in a country like South Africa where unemployment rates are at an all-time high, and opportunities may seem scarce to most people.
