AI is changing how people work, build businesses, and make decisions across Africa. In this episode, Eme and Muktar sit down with Abiodun Adetona, founder of Decide AI, to talk about how their AI spreadsheet analyst, DAX-1, gained over 1,000 users in just 24 days without funding or marketing. We also discuss South Africa’s investigation into data prices, the growing risks of AI being used by militant groups, the alarming AI could 'kill us all' claim and what AI means for the future of work. Plus, we look at some of the biggest updates from the African tech ecosystem, including the $2.1B raised by African startups and what to expect from TechCabal’s Moonshot event.
