About State of AI SA

Practical evidence on enterprise AI in South Africa, with clear ownership and transparent relationships.

State of AI SA is owned by Sulta Tech. It is an initiative focused on how artificial intelligence is implemented in South African organisations, from early experiments to everyday operations.

Why Sulta created State of AI SA

Sulta created this publication to make lessons from enterprise AI implementation more accessible: what changes in real workflows, how teams assess value, and what it takes to move beyond a pilot. Our focus is South African experience that executives, technology leaders and practitioners can learn from.

Sulta Tech works in AI strategy, team enablement, engineering and operations. That connection informs the publication’s practical focus and is a relationship readers should be able to see when assessing our coverage.
