Technology experts are warning African governments about the growing misuse of artificial intelligence and cyber threats targeting the continent’s digital systems.
Cybersecurity analysts say AI-generated scams, misinformation, and cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and could affect banking, education, and public services.
Governments across Africa are being encouraged to invest heavily in cybersecurity education, digital infrastructure, and AI regulations.
Cybersecurity and data governance experts are warning that rapid artificial intelligence (AI) adoption is outpacing regulatory frameworks in Africa, creating severe digital security vulnerabilities across the continent. While AI offers immense developmental breakthroughs in agriculture and disaster management, it has simultaneously supercharged the capabilities of cybercriminals and state actors.
