Technology is advancing rapidly, leaving some countries behind in terms of digital skills and infrastructure. Children in technology-deprived countries lack access to basic digital skills and tools, creating a massive divide between the technology haves and have-nots. Tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are unveiling new AI capabilities, further widening the gap. The divide is especially evident in the geopolitical competition for AI supremacy between the US and China. While countries like Japan, South Korea, and India have developed technological infrastructure, Africa lags behind in digital technology development. Bridging this gap requires equipping youth with digital skills and improving educational systems through foresight policies and investment.
