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.
