AI Governance for Africa > Part 2 > Section 8
This concludes Part 2 of the AI Governance for Africa toolkit series. As the previous sections reflect, despite the significant strides African countries have taken to govern AI, more is required to ensure the ethical and safe deployment of AI across the continent.
A common trend in policy and strategy at the domestic level is that it is currently relatively superficial in grappling with AI.
It is clear which sectors AI has already begun impacting, thus, more decisive and sector-specific policy measures should be crafted to understand the current and future trends and challenges. Once finalised, these policies should be made publicly accessible. Further developments in this space create exciting opportunities for Africa to become a leading voice on ethical AI governance and, as per Agenda 2063, become a continent where “… well-educated and skilled citizens, underpinned by science, technology, and innovation for a knowledge society is the norm…”[1]
This concludes Part 2 of this toolkit. Part 3 concludes the series, by exploring advocacy approaches to advance AI governance in Africa.
