South Africa just dropped its roadmap for leading the G20 this year – and it’s all about creating a fairer, tech-savvy future. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced at the G20 summit in Brazil that the country will prioritize inclusive economic growth, global food security, and ethical AI development. Think of it as a triple threat against inequality, hunger, and unchecked tech. 🚀
Here’s the tea: The plan aims to ensure economic policies benefit everyone (not just the 1%), tackle food shortages worsened by climate change 🌱, and shape AI rules that prevent bias and job losses. Ramaphosa compared it to “building a global group project where no one gets left behind.”
Why should you care? With 60% of Africa’s population under 25, this agenda could redefine opportunities for young entrepreneurs and students worldwide. Plus, the AI focus aligns with Gen Z’s demand for tech that’s both lit and responsible. 🤖✨
Pro tip: Watch how this plays out ahead of November’s G20 Leaders’ Summit – it’s basically the Avengers assemble moment for global economics.
