African Union leader Youssouf called for big steps in AI across Africa at the Rwanda meeting. He spoke to a packed room at the first Africa AI event in Kigali. African nations need to jump into AI with the tools they already have. They plan to make clear rules and find money from 2025 to 2026. Then, from 2028 to 2030, they will build real AI systems, with a check-in in 2027.

Youssouf firmly believes Africa can lead its AI path, not just copy others. New AI companies need cash, and all African countries must use the same rulebook. Teamwork with other groups helps Africa learn new tech fast. The African Bank runs programs to teach young people coding skills. Young Africans must launch AI companies and gain fresh skills, as Africa has just a small part of world AI experts.

The Kigali AI event brought more than a thousand people from over ninety countries. The two-day meeting ends on Friday with many talks and shows. Business leaders, brain workers, money people, and lawmakers joined to make Africa strong in AI. They focus on how AI can create jobs for the many young workers in Africa. More than a hundred African AI firms came to share new ideas, find money, and build teams for future projects.
