John Kamara is one of Africa's foremost voices on artificial intelligence — and, increasingly, on the collision between AI and energy that will define the continent's next decade. He is the founder and CEO of AICE Africa, the Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence Africa, a continental institution building sovereign, responsible AI capability, infrastructure and skills across health, agriculture, finance, energy and the public sector. At Energy Week he speaks as the architect of Edge of the Sun — his blueprint for distributed green compute that pairs Africa's abundant solar and renewable energy with edge AI infrastructure, turning the continent's greatest natural asset into intelligence built and owned at home. As former Chief AI Futurist at Equity Group, he authored the enterprise's AI governance and Safe-AI strategy; he is lead architect of SAFEAI, a UNIDO-selected platform guided by his conviction that AI must be safe by science, human by design, and owned by those it serves.
