The event will convene the 60+ women identified for the
Africa.com Definitive List of Women CEOs – those women who run listed
corporations in Africa with over $100 million in revenue or $150 million in
market capitalization, based on data provided by Bloomberg.
Confirmed speakers, who will speak about their company’s use
of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in Africa, include the following business
leaders from the Africa.com Definitive List of Women CEOs: Lillian Barnard,
Managing Director, Microsoft, South Africa; Brenda Mbathi, President, GE East
Africa; Aida Diarra, Head of Sub-Saharan Africa, VISA; Amelia Beattie, Chief
Executive, Liberty Two Degrees; Helene Echevin, CEO, CIEL Healthcare.
The event is a one-stop, strategic business primer on AI,
presented for a generalist, executive audience interested in Africa. The summit
begins with a fascinating presentation on how implicit biases are built into
today’s AI algorithms, and the resulting implications for the use of AI among
Africans and women. Another dynamic element to the event will be a video
presentation showcasing the African women leading in the AI industry.
Global experts in AI will share their knowledge on the latest
developments within the key industries important to Africa: financial services,
telecoms, natural resources, agriculture, and technology.
Among the speakers on these topics are the senior executives
who oversee the adoption of artificial intelligence for some of the world’s
largest corporations including JPMorgan Chase and Verizon. Professor Tsedal
Neeley of Harvard Business School will present the important topic of how to
get large organisations to adopt an AI mindset.
Another highlight of the event will be when Africa.com
reveals its 2022 Definitive List of Women CEOs. In its second year, the list is
a unique, data-driven research effort that highlights the women who lead big
business in Africa.
Africa.com Chair Teresa Clarke said, “We are thrilled to
empower African women CEOs by providing them with a leading edge understanding
of how AI is changing business throughout the world.We expect that African male
CEOs will also join this event to take advantage of the valuable content being
presented.”
