VOICES

I believe that technology mirrors life in its diversity and vibrancy. Take something as simple as choosing a lipstick colour – it’s a personal expression. How often have you chosen a shade of lipstick that represents more than your style but your stance against the norm?

Now, imagine AI as an extension of that choice. It's not just about technology; it's about redefining the boundaries of what's possible, challenging the norms and expanding our understanding of intelligence. In my mind, if AI wore lipstick, it would embrace the boldness, nuance and complexity that come with understanding and representing the diverse spectrum of human experience, particularly in Africa, where this narrative is one of empowerment, inclusion and the breaking of traditional barriers that have long hindered women's full participation in various spheres of life, including finance, healthcare, recruitment and education.
