One last tidbit

One thing I found super interesting was the frequent use of AI imagery on large billboards throughout the city. At least half of all advertisements were noticeably AI-generated, which I think is quite different from what I see in the US. It was an observation that I am still quite interested in understanding today and one that I like bringing up specifically because I believe that Americans exclude Africa from the conversation surrounding technological adoption and artificial intelligence. I don’t believe many in the ‘West’ imagine an AI-powered Africa, but the reality is that this technology is being used and has already been widely adopted across the continent. Who knows! Maybe this could be a topic for a future documentary!
