Welcome Back!
Zimbabwe's combination of relatively stable governance, strategic location, and young and innovative population has made it an attractive destination for multinational companies.
Zimbabwe has been constantly adapting to Artificial intelligence and Technology with a rapid increase in Emerging Artificial intelligence companies and adoption in the banking sector.
Artificial
Intelligence systems has been successfully implemented during the peak of the
covid 19 pandemic which assisted in monitoring and minimising the spread of
Covid 19 in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is one of the Top African countries which
managed to safe guard its citizens from the rapid spread of Covid 19 virus with
minimum deaths recorded.
Clifford Matamba an Artificial intelligence engineer in Zimbabwe deployed the IOT based smart covid 19 monitoring system which was well implemented and adopted at national level. According to Clifford Matamba's idea, the system was to record temperature and capture data at random entry points,and the data uploaded into the national covid 19 database.
Clifford Matamba has also played part in partnership with Juxby Incorporated in pioneering the adoption and development of Artificial intelligence systems for data collection and analytics in Zimbabwe since the first launch of their Artificial intelligence search engine optimization at Digital Vocano.
Other companies such as the Econet group, Ministry of healthy and Child welfare and Net one have also contributed to the adoption of Artificial intelligence in Zimbabwe.
