African Disaster Mitigation Reseach Center ADMiR

💡 ASRIC Insight Monday

As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape industries and societies worldwide, one question remains central:

How can Africa harness AI in ways that reflect its own realities, priorities, and development aspirations?

Building strong innovation ecosystems and investing in the next generation of African scientists, researchers, and innovators will be essential to ensuring that AI becomes a driver of inclusive and sustainable development across the continent.

At ASRIC, we believe that Africa's greatest technological achievements will come from solutions that are developed with Africa, for Africa.

💬 What do you think is the most important step Africa should take to build an AI future that serves its people?

📣 Wrap-up from our SMART HORIZONS workshop at ACAG9!
Led by ADMiR under ARICA23_714, we brought regional and global experts together to show how AI/ML, GeoAI, IoT, and VR can cut time-to-alert and turn data into life-saving action across the Arab region.

Key takeaways:

Bridge social + physical sciences so alerts become protective action.

Build trust in AI-based warning through transparency, auditability, and fewer false alarms.

Close monitoring & data gaps: expand low-cost IoT, explore fiber-optic DAS, and create an open regional data hub.

Invest in education & capacity and update codes & practice for multi-hazard resilience.

🎯 Our message: Resilience grows when tech meets culture, governance, and public trust.
