African Development Bank awards $1 million grant to support green skills development for South Africans, with focus on youth
The African Development Bank ( through the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA), has awarded a $1 million grant to South Africa's National Business Initiative (NBI) to strengthen efforts to build a dynamic, demand-led skills ecosystem that enables South Africans, particularly young people, to access emerging job opportunities in the green economy. South Africa continues to face significant challenges in youth employment, with StatisticsSA ( reporting that 46.1% of young people aged 15 to 34 were unemployed in the first quarter of 2025. The funding will support the country's Just Energy Transition Skilling for Employment Programme (JET SEP), led by the National Business Initiative in partnership with the management consultancy Boston Consulting Group. The initiative coordinates private sector efforts to prepare the workforce for the energy transition, in tandem with the government's JET Skilling Implementation Plan, focused on inclusive workforce development and sustainable job creation. Specifically, the grant will finance the programme's first phase, including feasibility studies for the design of skills development zones and capacity building within the public technical and vocational education and training system. Skills development zones will anchor the delivery of inclusive skills and foster local economic growth during the country's just-energy transition. Launched in 2024 and endorsed by the JET Project Management Unit under the presidency of the Government of South Africa, JET SEP has garnered support from over 30 influential South African CEOs, public sector leaders, and civil society leaders in the past year. Of the grant, Kennedy Mbekeani, African Development Bank Director General for Southern Africa, said: "By linking a strong private sector coalition – the engine for job creation – with government, academia, and NGOs, the FAPA grant will play a catalytic role to support informed policy decisions in skills development and labour market programmes. It will also strengthen skills development efforts for the growth of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and the creation of jobs for youth in South Africa's green economy." The grant builds on the African Development Bank's significant investment in South Africa's energy sector. Since 2007, the Bank has invested $3.4 billion to support energy infrastructure, including renewable energy. The current grant will support the government's efforts to identify the skills needed for the sector, with a particular focus on renewable energy. Shameela Soobramoney, CEO of the National Business Initiative, said: 'This grant from the African Development Bank is a critical step toward turning vision into action, strengthening the national skills system, and ensuring that all South Africans are equipped to seize new opportunities in the green economy. We are proud to continue working alongside our partners and stakeholders to build an inclusive future-ready workforce and to stimulate local economies in a way that leaves no one behind.'

Do AI influencers resonate?
Forget everything you thought you knew about influencers. Turns out, brands are leaning into ones that don't drink matcha, go on sponsored retreats, and don't even exist – at least not in the traditional sense. In today's digital-first landscape, some of the most compelling brand voices aren't human at all. They're virtual, coded brand ambassadors. Welcome to the age of the AI influencer – where storytelling is more nuanced and a glitch might just be what it takes for humans to find the 'humanity' in AI. After Campaign Middle East's On the Record video podcast welcomed AI influencers to its studio, one thing became clear: these digital darlings aren't just passing fads or virtual novelties. To better understand how AI influencers are rewriting the rules of engagement, storytelling and brand loyalty, we asked regional marketers and agency leaders: What makes an AI personality resonate with audiences in an authentic way? Do they serve a purpose beyond mere short-term campaign tools? The authenticity dilemma Over the past year, one of the many buzzwords that has echoed across the industry is authenticity. To achieve authenticity, brands have attempted to push past polished perfection and build meaningful connections with communities. But the authenticity dilemma arises when a solution that's intrinsically 'inauthentic' resonates authentically with audiences. Tony Kayouka, Head of Social and Content, TBWA\RAAD, explains, 'Let's get this out of the way: AI influencers aren't authentic, and they don't need to be. The best ones don't pretend to be real. They're believable because they're designed with intent. That's what today's audiences respond to; not another hyper-polished avatar, but a personality that's flawed, specific and sometimes even contradictory.' Building on the 'imperfect by design' narrative, Nizar Malaeb, Marketing Director, Arabian Automobiles Company (AAC), says, 'With AI influencers becoming a fixture across social platforms, audiences, especially Gen Z or younger millennials, expect more than polished avatars and curated feeds. They want honesty and a sense of connection from any online voice, whether human or not.' What then does it mean to be 'authentic'? Mousa Nimer, Account Director at Cicero & Bernay, says, 'Authenticity isn't about being human as much as it is about being believable.' Kayouka adds, 'It's not about tricking people into thinking it's human. It's about making the character compelling enough that they care anyway.' As a result, several brands have embraced imperfection in the pursuit of what is relatable to their hyper-local audiences in the region. Explaining how this imperfection is achieved, Malaeb says, 'Human writers and community managers must shape each AI persona to sound natural, adding pauses, slang and even small mistakes that echo real speech.' Nimer adds, 'A little quirk here, an intentional flaw there … it's like digital botox with just the right amount of asymmetry. Consumers don't want avatars that look like they live in an airbrushed alternate reality. They want voice, nuance and, yes, maybe even a glitch or two. That's where marketing meets meaning.' Kayouka says, 'Great AI personas lean into bias, hesitation, irony: all the things that give them texture. Authenticity doesn't come from looking real. It comes from being written well. In this space, taste matters more than tech. And story beats symmetry every time.' However, for brands to build true credibility, they also need to be transparent about the artificial nature of AI influencers – and own that narrative. Hussein M. Dajani, Group Chief Marketing and Customer Centricity Officer, Petromin Corporation, says, 'Brands are implementing radical transparency by clearly disclosing AI origins while developing virtual personalities that engage meaningfully with local communities around social causes and cultural interests.' Malaeb adds, 'Instagram and TikTok now offer 'AI-generated' labels. Followers know exactly what they're seeing. Brands that are straightforward, tend to earn more trust and engagement. Companies can answer the authenticity challenge by being upfront about what's real and what's not.' The critical piece here is that although the AI influencers are artificial, the values they communicate and the way they are curated are so human driven that they come across as authentic 'avatars' of brands. Akanksha Goel, Founder and CEO – Middle East, Socialize /We Are Social adds, 'It's never just AI – it's always AI and human. The best outputs don't come from tools; they come from teams with taste. As creative leaders, our job is to shape, not just scale. AI lets us build faster, but it's human insight, intuition and cultural intelligence that make it believable, even memorable.' Malaeb explains, 'Virtual ambassadors work as part of a larger brand story, shaped by ethical guidelines and managed by real people. This mix of transparency and genuine human input makes AI influencers credible, even when everyone knows they're artificial.' Do AI influencer have a beating heart? Apart from authenticity and transparency, leaders also say that to truly connect with core audiences, brand ambassadors such as AI influencers need to be culturally relevant. As Kayouka puts it, 'What matters isn't realism; it's resonance. Audiences can spot hollow content in seconds, and in that landscape AI influencers have more to offer than synthetic faces. Ultimately, it's not just about realism; it's about cultural relevance and storytelling that resonates.' In a world where real-life influencers and content creators still strive for perfection in the framing of their photographs, in the aesthetics of the setting, in the lighting and the 'vibe' of their social feeds, AI influencers have a harsh reality to share. Dajani says, 'Rather than pursuing flawless digital personas, brands are investing in AI influencers that demonstrate genuine understanding of regional lifestyle preferences, using local dialects and showcasing authentic cultural experiences. This approach addresses consumer demand for relatable brand ambassadors while maintaining the innovative appeal of AI technology.' However, this requires an understanding of culture, habits and local routines. When brands use this approach, they're helping people see their own lives reflected at them. That's how lasting connections form,' says Malaeb. If done right, AI influencers have the power to transcend traditional marketing approaches by evoking emotions and creating connections, thus transforming data-led insights into compelling human narratives. Humanising data-driven insights AI influencers are also bridging the gap between data and creativity. Cultural intelligence derived by analysing first-party data is translated into empathetic narratives … and that's where AI influencers come in. Nimer says, 'AI can crunch numbers, but it can also tell stories if we let it. The magic isn't in mimicking humans; it's in giving data a heartbeat, digitally speaking. AI influencers can translate raw insights into narratives that can make us feel something.' Dajani adds, 'By starting with decision-focused narratives rather than data points and building structured stories that connect numbers to human experiences, AI influencers can humanise complex information while fostering community engagement around authentically resonant messaging that avoids superficial trend-chasing.' 'Data is a starting point, not the story itself,' Malaeb says. 'For example, if research shows parents care about car safety, the message shouldn't stop at listing features. Instead, content should show real-life moments – like the rush of a school drop-off or the quiet of a late-night drive home. When these details feel true to life, audiences pay attention.' This is where human intelligence in the driving seat with AI influencers riding shotgun really matters. Nimer says, 'My take is: We should use AI not to replace the human voice, but to amplify it strategically, empathetically and creatively. The humanising aspect isn't necessarily about whether it sounds real; it's about saying the right things.' He adds, 'When crafted with purpose, AI influencers deliver that 'wait, did an AI just say that?' charm. But here's the kicker: they still need us. Marketers are the ones feeding the AI with the right context, strategy and storytelling DNA. We're not stepping aside for machines; we're teaching them how to speak brand fluently.' Goel agrees saying, 'AI can create more space for human creativity – if we let it. The opportunity isn't to replace the human touch, but to reimagine how we express it at scale. Culture now moves at the speed of social, and for brands that want to shape it, AI is the hack: a way to translate data into creative expression that travels – across markets, time zones and cultural lines.' From a campaign tool to a differentiated brand assets To date, AI influencers have been viewed as effective campaign tools, but leaders say that it's time to view them as more than just 'disposable characters'. Kayouka comments, 'Most brands still treat AI influencers like novelty acts built for headlines, not memory. But the smart ones treat them like intellectual property (IP): distinct voice, narrative stretch and a role within the brand's cultural system. That kind of presence doesn't run on autopilot. It takes upkeep: scripting, styling, evolving tone and responding to context.' Leaders agree that the 'smarter' companies are using AI influencers as flexible voices that evolve alongside their agile businesses. Malaeb says, 'Instead of fading them out after a single launch, they become part of everyday communication – adjusting content and tone as needed and always staying true to the brand's core identity.' This approach, leaders agree, is especially valuable in sectors such as automotive or technology where education and ongoing conversation matter. Dajani adds, 'Forward-thinking brands are repositioning AI influencers from tactical campaign tools to strategic brand assets that deliver sustained competitive advantage. Unlike human influencers, AI brand ambassadors maintain consistent messaging, never experience scandals, and can operate across multiple markets simultaneously.' Malaeb adds, 'With a long-term role, AI influencers help keep messaging clear and consistent, even as products or markets evolve. When brands invest in this way, the AI persona becomes part of their foundation, helping them stand out and stay relevant in crowded digital spaces.' The bottom line? In the hands of skilled marketers, AI influencers are becoming more than tools. They're turning into long-term brand ambassadors with cultural fluency, emotional intelligence and brand-building power. 'The win? A character that doesn't age, burn out or go off-script. It's one that adapts to platform shifts, speaks with consistency and carries meaning across time. In a feed full of forgettable faces, an AI persona with point of view isn't just efficient, it's unmistakable,' says Kayouka. Leaders reach a consensus that success lies not in the realism or the perfection of AI, but in transparency, resonance, the cultural sharpness of its expression and how the humanity of creatives shines through the AI influencers that they are bringing to life.

Qlik Trust Score for AI Now Available in Talend Cloud
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » Qlik Trust Score for AI Now Available in Talend Cloud Qlik®, a global in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, has announced the general availability of Qlik Trust Score™ for AI. This innovation is now included within Qlik Talend Cloud®. It helps organizations assess whether data is truly ready for AI before it reaches a model. The Qlik Trust Score for AI introduces purpose-built scoring across AI-specific dimensions. It is designed to help companies establish strong data foundations for responsible and scalable AI. As AI adoption grows, many businesses face a critical challenge they don't know if the data feeding their models is trustworthy. Qlik's solution addresses this by offering a single, intuitive score that reveals where data trust breaks down. This helps prevent bias, drift, and faulty outcomes. Drew Clarke, EVP of Product and Technology at Qlik, stated, 'Most companies still treat data trust like an IT hygiene issue. It's not. It's the foundation of every AI decision a business makes.' He added that without the ability to measure trust, organizations are gambling with outcomes, compliance, and customer experience. The Qlik Trust Score for AI provides a real-time signal that data is fit for purpose. This tool builds on Qlik's existing Trust Score framework with three new AI-focused dimensions: Diversity: Measures representativeness and balance to reduce training bias. Timeliness: Assesses freshness of data for relevant decision-making. Accuracy: Flags values that break business rules or lack reliability. These features combine with metrics like Discoverability and Usage. The solution supports AI training, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and intelligent automation. Security and LLM Readiness metrics are expected in future updates. Qlik also revealed plans for Trust Score historization, enabling users to track trends over time. This helps correlate trust shifts with issues like model drift or performance drops. In addition, Qlik reported an early access program for an AI-native Data Stewardship experience in Qlik Talend Cloud. Launching this fall, the feature aims to detect and resolve data issues earlier. It will include automated rules, human-in-the-loop workflows, and platform-wide governance. Ritu Jyoti, Group VP/GM at IDC, noted that many AI initiatives fail because of untrustworthy data. 'Without visible metrics for data trust, organizations risk costly failures and stalled adoption,' she said. Charles Link, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Reworld, emphasized that trust in data is critical. 'The hardest part of AI is rarely the model. It's trusting the data behind it,' he said. A recent Qlik survey revealed only 42% of executives fully trust AI-generated insights, despite nearly 90% seeing AI as vital to their strategy. Qlik Trust Score for AI helps bridge this trust gap with an objective and repeatable framework. It aligns with emerging governance standards. Qlik is the first to deliver a unified, AI-specific trust signal directly into the data pipeline. It integrates measurement, monitoring, and remediation in one platform. The feature is now generally available for Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition customers.
