This event, co-hosted with the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law and Policy, is part of an initiative for policymakers, business leaders, and academics in the Global South and around the world to meaningfully discuss how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming governance.
As the digital era continues to evolve, AI governance is becoming a critical issue that requires comprehensive and inclusive approaches. This event will cover the nuances of AI governance in Africa and the broader Global South, a particularly important topic for developing equitable models that effectively serve diverse populations. The goal of this collaboration is to advocate for balanced AI governance approaches that take into account the impact on labor, the environment, sustainability, human rights, economic development, privacy, and governance and meet the needs of local communities rather than imposing one-size-fits-all policy solutions derived from Europe.
This collaborative effort intends to identify unique challenges and solutions in AI adoption and governance, focusing on Africa and the rest of the Global South, and produce scholarly and share actionable insights seeking to bring these to life.
