In a teaching hospital in Kumasi, a young data analyst has already worked out how an AI triage tool could cut waiting times on the ward. In a market in Accra, a trader keeps records by hand that a simple model could turn into the credit history a bank would recognise. In a lecture hall in Tamale, a final-year student is writing code good enough to compete anywhere in the world. None of them lacks talent or ideas. What each lacks is a way into the room where Africa's AI future is being decided.
