This is a collective of dedicated individuals and organizations committed to fostering ethical AI practices, encouraging research, and addressing the societal implications of AI across Africa and largely the Global South.
In recent years, the rapid development and deployment of AI technologies have brought about transformative possibilities across various sectors. However, it has become increasingly evident that the impact of AI is not uniform, and challenges, especially in the global south, need focused attention. The global south faces unique socio-economic, political, cultural, and infrastructural challenges that can exacerbate AI failure modes. From compute to limited access to data and resources, these issues demand a thoughtful and inclusive approach to ensure that AI technologies benefit diverse communities.
