The country has been set up for a new era by the convergence of four factors, writes Kavi Pather

Kavi PatherAn unlikely convergence of four factors has set SA up for a boom in the use of artificial intelligence as local companies are urged to keep up to remain competitive in an increasingly borderless technological world.

While AWS and Azure are already available to SA businesses, the data centres will greatly augment the offerings. Huawei is an even more recent addition to data centre capabilities in SA. The fourth factor is SA’s regulatory framework. In 2019 President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed the Presidential Commission on the Fourth Industrial Revolution , which will assist the government in taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the digital revolution. The task of the commission is to identify the relevant policies, strategies and action plans that will position SA as a competitive global player.

Telematics insurance products are a good example. A method of monitoring cars, trucks, equipment and other assets, Telematics uses GPS technology and on-board diagnostics to plot the asset’s movements on a computerised map.
