Webinar description:

This webinar will aim to discuss the critical facets of Artificial Intelligence governance in Africa, examining the continent’s progress, challenges, and future directions in shaping AI policy. We will explore the current state of AI governance frameworks across African nations, recognizing that while the need for such frameworks is acknowledged, comprehensive policy formulation remains a significant challenge. The African Union’s initiatives, such as the Continental AI Strategy, represent crucial steps towards unifying fragmented governance approaches, yet significant disparities persist when compared to established global benchmarks.
