Artificial intelligence for economic policymaking : the frontier of Africa’s economic transformation

Abstract

This report was designed to assess the viability of using artificial intelligence (AI) to inform inclusive and sustainable economic, financial, and industrial policies in Africa and to help identify where traditional and non-traditional data exists and where there are gaps. It was also written with the objective of establishing the basis for future work on how to fill gaps and develop an approach for designing and implementing a research initiative based on well-designed models for economic transformation. Secondarily, it was designed to better understand the interests of national stakeholders and international development partners on this important topic. The research was conducted through a combination of desk analysis, key informant interviews and stakeholder workshops.
