Research Needed to Develop Responsible AI Strategies Grounded in African Contexts

Generative AI like ChatGPT requires research grounded in the African context to determine locally relevant strategies.

From an African view, AI risks perpetuating data colonialism, climate injustice, and inequitable tech ecosystems.

Research is needed to understand how to utilize generative AI in African contexts, managing new risks and aligning with decolonization.

Studies should be grounded in diverse African values and interests, not just corporate or high-income country assumptions.

Policy networks like Africa-Asia FAIR Forward are launching to develop responsible AI frameworks.
