Chapter Abstract:
This article examines the effects of the digital economy and artificial intelligence on the industrialization of sub-Saharan African economies. Thus, from a sample of 47 countries observed over the period 2003 – 2021, we estimate a model in panel data by the GMM system method. Overall, our results show that the digital economy and artificial intelligence contribute significantly to improving industrialization. In addition, they keep their robustness against the use of competing estimators. We suggest more investment in technological infrastructure, better human capital formation for a better contribution of the digital economy and artificial intelligence to industrial development.
