Impact of AI and Digital Transformation towards the African Union's Agenda 2063

Abstract  
The conceptual research explores digital transformation and AI within the African Union's 
Agenda 2063. It aims to analyse how emerging technologies influence AU Agenda 2063 and 
to offer recommendations to the multilateral organisation, academia, and others. The study 
introduces an Intersectionality Digital Transformation Model for the African Union's Agenda 
2063, an original addition to the AU's knowledge base that utilises intersectional digital 
transformation and artificial intelligence. The conceptual method and desktop research 
comparison reveal that digital transformation, artificial intelligence development, and 
implementation lack organisation or coordination. The report suggests adopting a unified AI 
development and deployment strategy rooted in African values and capable of addressing 
African concerns.
