"AI isn't just about opportunity — it's about addressing real-world challenges. And that gives Africa an edge." — Arthur Goldstuck, Founder, World Wide Worx At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Arthur Goldstuck, the South African journalist, researcher, speaker, and founder of World Wide Worx, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, technology inequality, and why Africa's challenges may actually be its superpower in the age of AI. Goldstuck, a 40-year veteran of tech journalism and author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to AI, brings a unique perspective — blending consumer insight, enterprise analysis, and a deep focus on developing economies. His firm, World Wide Worx, was the first African market research company to examine both enterprise and consumer technology adoption, creating a distinctive lens for understanding digital transformation. At the heart of the discussion was Sentinel, Goldstuck's upcoming African edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to AI. The book reframes AI not as a threat, but as a tool for inclusion, capable of reaching underserved populations with education, healthcare, and financial access — delivered through everyday mobile devices. “If you bring AI to the edge — to the phone — and make it invisible to the user, that's when you unlock opportunity,” Goldstuck explained. He pointed to contrasts within South Africa — a nation with world-class banks and digital infrastructure, yet also vast gaps in education and opportunity. AI, if localized and embedded with intent, can help bridge these divides. Yet Goldstuck also warned of job disruption, especially in industries like contact centers, which play a major role in both South Africa and India. Drawing parallels to the decline of the horse whip industry in the early 20th century, he emphasized that while AI will displace jobs, new roles and sectors will emerge — provided we invest in people now. The conversation came full circle with a reflection on agentic AI — the next evolution of intelligent assistants — as seen in Cisco's unveiling of agentic ops. Goldstuck called it “a bridge to new possibilities,” aligning with Cisco's own branding as a technology connector. “It's not about replacing people,” he said. “It's about enabling them to participate more fully in the global economy.” For more insights and research, visit worldwideworx.com.
On this week’s episode of What the Hack! Arthur Goldstuck speaks to Lester Kiewit from San Diego, where he's attending Cisco Live to explore how AI is both defending and threatening global networks. Fresh from the SAPHILA conference in Sun City, he unpacks the rise of “Auto Sapiens” as the next big digital evolution and reports back from Salesforce’s Agentforce World Tour on how anyone can upskill for the AI-agent economy. Gadget of the Week is the Jabra Engage 65 wireless headset, perfect for pro-level audio on the go. And in this week’s tech tip, Arthur reveals how South Africans can buy Kindle books that aren’t normally available in local stores.

New data from FNB Merchant Services shows that the South African online e-commerce market has grown rapidly and is currently estimated at just under R200 billion per annum. Companies such as Takealot, Woolworths and Checkers are all adapting to new consumer habits. According to FNB, an increase in the e-commerce estimated value indicates how Covid-19 exponentially accelerated the use of e-commerce. Before the pandemic, e-commerce accounted for 8% of total card payments spent in the retail space, with 35% of the sector being made up by spending on travel and accommodation. At the end of 2021, e-commerce accounted for 14% of total card payments sales, with travel and accommodation only taking up 11%. Setting up a website is easy....you can do it over a weekend. The hard work starts when you need to integrate it with inventory management software and optimizing the site for google to find you. You need a specialist to help you to avoid the pitfalls of SEO which prevent you from being discovered on the net. And then there is the never ending spend on social media to drive traffic through your site. You need to cover the cost of photography and editing of product, offer “free delivery” and payment platform charges. All in you're looking at 20%. To talk about the trends that will drive ecommerce in 2022 and how brands are responding Michael Avery is joined by Darren Hampton, GM: Digital & eCommerce at Nandos; Arthur Goldstuck, MD of World Wide Worx & Colleen Harrison, Head of Marketing at PayFast.

There is a growing trend in favour of Silicon Valley tech workers forming trade unions. Google software engineer Andrew Gainer-Dewar recalls how a walkout of staff at the search engine in November 2018 sowed the seeds for the Alphabet Workers' Union, named after Google's parent company, which was formed earlier this month. Professor Louis Hyman is a historian of work and business at Cornell University, and puts the development into historical context. And we find out more from Veena Dubal, who is a professor of law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

The video streaming service Netflix has announced a major push into Africa, with original series commissioned from around the continent. Netflix had already commissioned its first Nigerian original movie with 2018’s Lionheart, and a number of new projects have been announced, including the Zimbabwean musical animation Tunga. Ed Butler speaks to screenwriter Godwin Jabangwe about how he based it on the legends he heard as a child. Meanwhile Mahmoud Ali Balogun, a veteran Nollywood filmmaker, explains why he thinks Netflix will be good for the country's content creators. It won’t necessarily be smooth sailing for Netflix, however, as high data costs and poor connectivity mean many African viewers won’t get the same experience as those in more developed regions. Ed speaks to South African media analyst Arthur Goldstuck, and Hassana, a young Netflix user in north-western Nigeria. (Picture: the Netflix logo; Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)
