Nigeria has the potential to become a major player in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) economy, estimated to be worth $16 trillion by 2030. To do this, Nigeria must leverage its abundant human resources, including the 160 million youth under the age of 35, and funnel them into Frontier Technologies such as AI, Blockchain, and Robotics. This strategy has the potential to replicate the success of the telecom revolution, where Nigeria leapfrogged from 400 thousand landlines to 80 million mobile lines in months.
