New Resource: Toolkits on AI Governance in Africa
The ALT team recently worked with the Thomson Reuters Foundation to prepare a series of toolkits on AI Governance in Africa, with the aim of empowering journalists and civil society organisations to inform public discourse, drive policy and regulatory change and advocate for ethical and responsible AI deployment.
The toolkit series unpacks the context of AI governance, in Africa and globally, and considers advocacy approaches for future governance.
- Part 1 examines existing AI governance instruments in Africa with a particular focus on the East African Community. This chapter outlines continental responses and details existing governing measures in Africa.
- Part 2 unpacks existing international governance measures. In doing so it considers governance trends and important considerations included in governance instruments.
- Part 3 explores a series of key questions for the design of advocacy strategies on AI governance, particularly in African contexts.
We joined our partners at the Thomson Reuters Foundation to deliver the first trainings with this toolkit series at a workshop with CSO and media participants in Nairobi, Kenya.
- The ALT team supporting this project included Tara Davis, Murray Hunter, and Tharin Pillay.
