The ministry of communications, innovation, and digital economy is partnering with the US Department of State to host the ‘Global Inclusivity and Artificial Intelligence: Africa’ conference.
The conference was first announced during the US-Nigeria Binational Commission meetings in Abuja in April.
It will hold on September 10-11 in Lagos and is expected to bring together around 300 stakeholders.
“Senior US government officials will join private sector executives, tech policy leaders, academics, and civil society members at this pan-African event to explore the opportunities and challenges of developing, deploying, and using artificial intelligence (AI),” the statement reads.
