President Mnangagwa has highlighted the role played by Artificial Intelligence, saying AI is at the heart of seismic technological transformation, reshaping economies and societies at an unprecedented pace.
The President said this today while delivering his keynote address at the launch of the Zimbabwe National Intelligence Strategy (2026-2030) at Parliament Building in Mount Hampden.
“The current paradigm brings to the fore the urgent need to increase capacities towards digital architecture and sovereignty. The Zimbabwe we all envision must be a digitally robust and agile.
“We have the duty to embrace emerging technologies to unlock numerous Artificial Intelligence-driven opportunities that will propel modernisation, industrialisation, and sustainable economic growth,” said President Mnangagwa.
“The Zimbabwe National Artificial Intelligence Strategy will undoubtedly ignite a new chapter in our country’s ongoing development trajectory.”
He said the strategy is a declaration of the country’s readiness for the transformative impact of AI.
“It is a bold response to the disruptive effects of the ever-evolving technological era. As a key development enabler, this strategy should help unleash our full potential and new frontiers in agriculture, mining, healthcare, finance, and education, among other aspects of the economy,” said President Mnangagwa.
“It is commendable that this strategy incorporates various perspectives of a broad cross-section of stakeholders as outlined in the Zimbabwe Artificial Intelligence Readiness Assessment Report.”
