Let`s talk about Africa's Continental AI Strategy
Hi, I'm Patrick Upmann, an expert in AI ethics, AI governance data privacy and regulatory & technical frameworks.
With over 20 years of experience in data strategy, data governance, data privacy and AI compliance, I am passionate about how we can use AI responsibly while addressing its technical challenges.
As the founder of AIGN, I present another new podcast episode today!
Welcome to another exciting episode of our podcast! Today, we dive into a groundbreaking topic that has the potential to shape the future of the African continent—the African Union's newly adopted strategy for leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive development across Africa.
In this episode, we’ll explore the five key focus areas of the strategy: maximizing the benefits of AI, minimizing its risks, building skills and capacities, promoting cooperation, and creating investment incentives.
We’ll break down the concrete recommendations for governments, the private sector, and development partners to harness the advantages of AI while addressing ethical, social, and security challenges.
What makes this strategy particularly noteworthy is its emphasis on an inclusive, human-centered approach that respects African values and cultural diversity.
Stay tuned as we unpack Africa’s vision for an AI-powered future and discuss what this means for sustainable growth and innovation across the continent!
