  2. From #preserving #Africa's #cultural #heritage to the era of #Artificial #Intelligence
    In 2017, the special issue of the #British #magazine The #Economist #announced on the cover that the most valuable resource was now data. This echoed the phrase “data is the new oil”, formulated in 2006 by data scientist Clive Humby.

    In 2018 James Bridle clarified that data is not the new oil but the new nuclear energy in that it is unlimited and in its capacity to cause harm (1) .

    In fact, since the 1960s, the following terms have come and gone at a rapid pace: data base, datawarehouse, databank, datamining, datamart, data store, big data, data lake, dataset, all #Anglo-Saxon sounding terms with sometimes more or less successful attempts at translations into other languages.

    But since the dawn of time, data has been the basis of #communication and the transmission of #knowledge between #humans, which evolved in four stages, oral, written, printed and digital.

    Africa?

    The African enjoys less of the advantages of being connected to the rest of the world than he suffers the #disadvantages. On a #cultural level, today's young African is likely to know more about the #British #Empire than about the Empire of #Ghana. He is more likely to have heard of #Napoleon #Bonaparte than of #Sundiata #Keita, the founding king of the great empire of #Mali. He will certainly have heard of #Elon #Musk as the richest man on the planet, but not of Mansa Musa, king of Mali in 1312 and probably the richest man who ever lived. And if he heard of #Léopold #Cedar #Senghor or #Félix #Houphouët-Boigny it will surely be thanks to the #Western #Media Through their prism.
