Arusha will become the first East African city to host the Africa Premier AI Conference when the landmark gathering convenes during the final week of November 2025, bringing together more than 1,200 delegates and 150 speakers from over 40 nations to address artificial intelligence development across the continent.
Conference CEO Abdulwahid Ali Khamis emphasized that the four-day summit represents a pivotal opportunity for African nations to shape their technological future rather than continue relying on imported systems that fail to reflect local values and priorities. The event will focus on agentic AI systems capable of independent learning and decision-making, with applications spanning healthcare, education, agriculture, business, and governance sectors.
Organizers plan to unveil The Dawn Directive, described as the world's first AI awareness and competence framework, alongside the signing of the Mombasa Declaration on Agentic AI, which aims to establish unified continental standards for AI governance and data ethics. Conference Director Anthony Nivo characterized the gathering as a historic convergence of leadership and innovation positioned to define how the continent navigates the AI revolution.
