Africa Talk: Decolonising the Public Space 2024
Event Description:
Africa Talk Online - "We Know What We Are Doing," The Politics and Trends in Regulating Artificial Intelligence in Africa
Speaker: Thompson Gyedu Kwarkye, University College Dublin
Africa is uniquely positioned to leverage the benefits of artificial intelligence. The societal transformations AI offers could help eliminate corruption, streamline democracy, and improve essential services by reducing human errors and biases. This event addresses crucial questions on maximizing AI's benefits while minimizing risks, covering aspects such as geopolitical relations and ethics across the continent.
This insightful presentation uses qualitative evidence from Rwanda and Ghana, examining the politics, trends, and synergies in AI policymaking within these countries. Discussions aim to address knowledge gaps and provide a deeper understanding of AI policies through the political, historical, and economic contexts of both nations.
