AI Ethics & Policy in Africa: Enroll to Our 5-Week Online Course

The need for responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance has never been more pressing. As AI continues to shape societies and economies, it is essential to critically examine not only the current ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks but also the future of AI governance in a world shaped by historical inequalities.
