◆ ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Humans4AI Summit 2026 is a three day meeting in Lagos for people putting AI to work for Africa. The goal is simple: turn skills into real jobs, help businesses adopt AI well, grow the creative economy, and write fair rules people can trust.
We bring four groups into one room: the people who build AI, the people who use it at work, the people who fund it, and the people who govern it. When they plan together, good things happen faster.
OUR VISION
Inclusion runs through everything. Women, students, the informal sector, and builders from every part of the continent are in every session, not a side room.
◆ THE PROGRAMME
Four parallel tracks so you can follow what fits your work. Inclusion is woven through all of them.
Use AI to do real work, raise output, and create jobs across sectors.
Turn AI skills, for coders and no-code makers, into work people pay for.
African stories, music and media in the age of generative AI.
Fair, African-led rules so AI is safe, trusted and open to all.
◆ PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
The state of AI in Africa, and what this summit is here to do.
Leaders share what they built, what it cost, and what changed.
