The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has stated that Artificial Intelligence (Al) could contribute $136 billion in productivity gains, cost savings, and increased revenues to the economies of Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa by 2030.
This is even as she stated that Artificial Intelligence (Al) has the potential to boost global economic activity by up to $15.7 trillion by 2030, with the global south, including Nigeria, standing to gain substantially.
She stated this while delivering a keynote address at the 10th Convocation ceremony of the African University of Science and Technology (AUST) in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria alone is positioned to reap 43 percent of these gains.
