This book examines the impact of AI and the financial crisis on African nations and the issues that surround its reciprocal impact on global business, government, and society. The global financial crisis and artificial intelligence (AI) have an equal and synergistic impact on economic development in Africa. While the global financial crisis has presented significant challenges to African businesses, AI has presented significant opportunities to alleviate these challenges. Featuring selected papers presented at the 5th Annual Current Business Issues in African Countries (CBIAC) Conference held in Hoboken, NJ, USA, in May 2024, this book focuses on the synergies between climate change, supply chain, and sustainable development featuring content from business and NGO leaders, faculty, and students.The impetus of the CBIAC conference was the discussions held at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) held in Nairobi, Keyna, in July 2016 and in Bridgetown, Barbados, and Geneva in 2021. The goal of the conference is to create long-term collaborative relationship between business leaders, faculty, researchers, students, and community members from different African nations.
