00:00I think we are fortunate that already we have a special envoy as an ambassador on technology to the rest of the world.
00:11And we've actually created as a country a diplomatic playbook on AI for all ambassadors and diplomats to use,
00:19because obviously, artificial intelligence is going to be this huge change.
00:23It's going to bring this huge change across the world.
00:25And we want to ensure that if we are not developing the models and if we need to use the models,
00:31we also need to be part of the conversations, because geopolitically,
00:35we have seen quite a lot in terms of this sort of race to having the best models where geopolitics has been introduced.
00:43And you're having trade restrictions, use of restrictions in terms of regions and locations.
00:51You're having, of course, censorship that's with different models,
00:56depending on their country of origin or their political stance on different items.
01:01And I think it's important for Africa and the global south to get ahead of this
01:07and have some form of diplomatic playbook or having something,
01:13someone or some institution responsible for just supporting sort of these diplomatic engagements
01:20as these models are rolled out, because I think this year we'll see a lot of geopolitics around artificial intelligence.
