What's in store for Africa 2026 ?

As 2026 approaches, we take a look at some of the issues to watch, and what do AI chatbots think of Africa.

As the year draws to a close, this episode looks ahead to some of the stories and events that could likely shape 2026. We ask which warning signs are already flashing, and what might still catch the world off guard. We also examine new research suggesting AI chatbots may carry built-in bias against Africa, raising fresh questions about technology, power and representation.
