Artificial Intelligence in Africa’s Burgeoning Population. Brief Review of Cremer and Kasparov for Augmentation

This brief review focuses on Artificial Intelligence in Africa’s burgeoning population. Amongst the problems discussed in this article is the limited resources which is an aftermath of population increase. More so, increase in population does not necessarily mean more resources cannot be created just as is seen in the case of China which has managed to float a polarized economy. In other words, Africa is in this situation as a result of mismanagement and misappropriation. What is of interest is the fact that Cremer and Kasparov have emphasized the augmentation of AI with human activities. This is a situation whereby employees can work alongside AI mechanisms as against total replacement of employees. Unfortunately, this may not be achievable in Africa where the little resources that are made available are unprofessionally handled. This implies that a lot of people would be out of jobs. But if Cremer and Kasparov’s ideas are considered; it may be too expensive to co-manage, dangerous in a ravaging pandemic situation or archaic by the time the future becomes completely AI.
