AI, Blockchain and Web3 technologies have the potential to transform the way African entrepreneurs do business, improve access to jobs, and enhance the everyday lives of people across the continent. By leveraging the power of these emerging techs, entrepreneurs can create new opportunities, expand their reach, and improve the economic prospects of their communities.

In traditional Artificial Intelligence systems, data is usually collected and processed by a centralized server or cloud computing platform. This centralization can pose problems such as data privacy concerns, security risks, and limitations on scalability. Decentralized Intelligence solves these issues by distributing data processing and storage across multiple devices or nodes, creating a peer-to-peer network.

On the 25th and 26th of August 2023, the Civic Center in Victoria Island, Lagos will be the venue for the Decentralized Intelligence: A Web3 and AI Summit. This summit will bring together experts in the fields of blockchain, Web3 and artificial intelligence to explore the convergence of these technologies and the opportunities they present for innovation and growth.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and best practices in decentralized systems, including decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized marketplaces, prediction markets, and autonomous organizations. They will also learn about the latest developments in AI, including machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, and how these technologies can be applied in decentralized environments.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with fellow professionals and entrepreneurs, share ideas, and forge new partnerships that can help them to take advantage of the opportunities presented by Web3 and AI. They will also be able to connect with investors and financiers who are interested in supporting the growth of decentralized systems and AI-powered businesses.

This event is being powered by Celo Foundation via its CeloAfricaDao initiative.
