You keep opening up the space I hold to think about the future. Thank you. For anyone in my field, you and your collaborators are a must-read. This piece on Africa’s Hustle Generation is an essential read. It challenges old narratives about the continent’s workforce and highlights something we should all pay attention to: a young, ambitious, tech-savvy population that isn’t waiting for permission to build the future.
AI and automation are often framed as threats to jobs. But in Africa, we see something different: a generation leveraging tech for entrepreneurship, micro-innovation, and decentralized opportunity. The real question isn’t whether AI will replace jobs—but how it can amplify human ambition in markets where traditional structures haven’t always delivered.
This is where adaptive, deep-domain AI could play a transformative role—not as a blunt tool for efficiency but as a partner in economic acceleration. Imagine AI systems that don’t just optimize processes for corporations but unlock new pathways for informal economies, match talent dynamically to opportunity, or help micro-enterprises scale responsibly.
The future of work isn’t one-size-fits-all. Africa’s Hustle Generation is showing us what’s possible when people drive transformation from the ground up. The question for the rest of us: Are we building AI that serves this future, or are we still designing for outdated models?
Curious to hear others’ thoughts—what role do you see AI playing in Africa’s economic rise?
