Imagine young South Africans using AI to build startups, develop innovative solutions and create employment for themselves and others. We need to invest in that potential. Ayre Think Tank #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica
We talk a lot about youth unemployment in South Africa. Could AI-powered entrepreneurship become part of the solution? The possibilities are worth exploring. #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica

The Commonwealth Youth AI Readiness Index maps the gaps. Now, governments, educators, businesses and communities have a role to play in closing them. #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica

For the first time we have a real measure of whether young people across the Commonwealth are being prepared for AI or left to figure it out on their own. South Africa made the cut. #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica Ayre Think Tank

South Africa has so much untapped youth talent. AI education could give young people from townships and rural communities access to knowledge and opportunities beyond their immediate surroundings. Ayre Think Tank #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica

Education must be at the centre of AI readiness. Our schools need to equip learners with digital and AI skills so they can compete and thrive in the future. The Ayre Think Tank's White Paper highlights why action is needed now. #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica

The Ayre Think Tank didn’t just rank countries. They measured whether young people actually have the access, skills and pathways to benefit from AI. Most places still fall short. #AIReadyZA #AIReadyAfrica Ayre Think Tank
