The Africa AI Declaration marks a historic commitment that was made by several African nations. The goal is to ensure Africa’s AI development is ethical and inclusive. The declaration focuses on leveraging AI for sustainable development while focusing on job creation and capacity building. This declaration will be a cornerstone of this year’s Africa Blockchain Festival.
ABF will serve as a follow-up platform bringing together policymakers and innovators. We will discuss how to move from declaration to real-world implementation. The declaration emphasizes:
- How to build AI solutions rooted in local data and aligned with African values
- What regulatory frameworks are needed to ensure ethical AI development
- How to support innovators and developers across the continent
We will connect African innovators with global partners. This will help them develop AI solutions which will be aligned with the declaration. We will also facilitate policy discussions which will help governments create clear regulatory frameworks that will support ethical AI development.
The Call to Action
Our mission is to support African governments in shaping clear, forward-thinking AI policies. ABF is the platform to drive this vision forward; A space for real dialogue, real collaboration, and real impact.
