In Africa, it's not just Kenya that knows the value of AI. Aubra Anthony, a strategy and research lead for the Center for Digital Development within the U.S. Agency for International Development, wrote on 24 May 2018 in techcrunch.com about his discovery in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is what he says: "On a recent work trip, I found myself in a swanky-but-still-hip office of a private tech firm. I was drinking a freshly frothed cappuccino, eyeing a mini-fridge stocked with local beer and standing amidst a group of hoodie-clad software developers typing away diligently at their laptops against a backdrop of Star Wars and xkcd comic wallpaper. I wasn't in Silicon Valley: I was in Johannesburg, South Africa, meeting with a firm that is designing machine learning (ML) tools for a local project backed by the U.S. Agency for International Development."
