South Africans' interest in AI is growing rapidly, with significant increases in searches for"what is AI" and"how to use AI", according to data from Google.
The surge in AI interest is wider than in South Africa. Google has revealed that AI-related searches have increased more locally and globally than ever. In South Africa alone, searches for AI have risen by 120% compared to the same time last year, and locals are eager to use AI to enhance their professional lives.
"So it's no surprise that the people of South Africa are already looking to make the most of this transformational technology, finding ways to learn more AI skills to boost their career, creativity, and society," said Paul Mayanja, acting Google SA country director.
