Who are AI leaders in Africa’s expanding digital ecosystem? - Maina Waruru, University World News

According to Coursera’s 2025 Global Skills Report, South Africa is the most artificial intelligence (AI)-advanced country in Africa and 61st in the world. Tunisia, Kenya and Morocco are in positions 68, 78 and 80, respectively. Other African countries making it to the top 100 globally include Ghana, Rwanda, Botswana, Egypt, Zambia, Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda and Cameroon. The report covers data collected from 109 countries, representing 56% of the world’s recognised sovereign states. A new feature in the report is the AI Maturity Index, a comparative analysis of global readiness that assesses progress in AI learning, research and innovation. The micro-credentials education company ranked South Africa, Tunisia, Kenya and Morocco as ‘emerging’ in AI-readiness and the rest of the continent, alongside numerous countries in Asia and Latin America, as ‘lagging’.
