As an African Union High-Level Panel on Emerging Technologies (APET) expert contributor/writer, my role in the team is to meaningfully research, analyze and present findings around emerging technologies and their potential benefit on the African continent. Through AUDA-NEPAD, we advise government on trends, scenarios and solutions. A study of the African situation shows that leaders, senior officials, policymakers and other stakeholders must be provided with evidence-based policy choices that will enable them to make informed decisions in harnessing emerging technologies for the socio-economic development of the continent. APET performs this function through the provision of advice and recommendations to Member States on the application and use of emerging technologies and proposes appropriate strategies and policies. APET identified ten emerging technologies as priority areas of relevance for Africa’s socio-economic development. These are: Gene drives; Microgrids; Drones for precision agriculture; Next-generation medicine; Artificial intelligence; Urban agriculture; Synthetic Biology (Gene Editing); 3D printing; Next-generation batteries; and Water purification.
