AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

AI in e-commerce: A Visa Stay Secure study says South Africans are embracing AI shopping tools, but only 23% trust AI to complete checkout—fraud fears and scam exposure remain the big barrier. Clean industry investment: Chinese automaker Chery officially opened its Rosslyn plant near Pretoria, shifting from importer to local manufacturer and promising technology transfer, automation and thousands of jobs. Healthcare affordability push: The Board of Healthcare Funders calls for reforms to improve access and affordability, pointing to tech-enabled models like micro-insurance and voluntary health cover. Pollution tracking in the wild: Researchers found heavy metals in Durban black mamba scales, suggesting the snakes could help cities monitor environmental health. Local tech at scale: Zimbabwean-born tech leaders Strive Masiyiwa, James Manyika and Ralph Tendai Mupita appeared with Ramaphosa at the Joburg AI Summit amid anti-immigration protests. Science and heritage: New research on Homo naledi raises fresh questions about sex-linked proteins in Rising Star cave fossils. Space/space-adjacent: ISRO is set to reset after satellite launch delays, as it looks ahead to upcoming missions.
