Mapping policy and capacity for artificial intelligence for development in Africa - centre

The Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D) project aimed to build an academic body of work accessible to policymakers, able to inform and influence AI policy locally and regionally. This would also help enhance the reputation and credibility of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT) among AI stakeholders in Africa. Compared with AI developed elsewhere, findings indicate differences in motivation for developing AI, as well as adoption processes. This report reviews activities, achievements and publications emerging from the study. Other parts of the inquiry focused on gender issues such as bias and sensitivity, and climate change adaptation and mitigation
