Egypt, represented by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), participated in the “Artificial Intelligence Need Assessment Survey for Africa” webinar, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), on February 18.
 
The webinar was organized to present the key findings of the AI Needs Assessment Survey in Africa, and launch the report with the same title, in discussion with Member States in Africa, within the framework of South-South and North-South cooperation.
 
The survey was conducted by UNESCO, Africa-wide, to establish the priorities and capacity building needs of African countries concerning AI. The survey also builds on UNESCO ongoing work in Africa on Universal Access to Information and Digital Transformation.
 
The findings of the survey are expected to strengthen UNESCO support for knowledge exchange, standard-setting, policy dialogue, capacity building, and network development for AI in Africa.
