Gsai

GSAI is a a consortium of ‘Global South AI’ open-source initiatives that lead to the African Information Highway, and have a democratising effect on AI development, fostering transparency and accountability. While these initiatives have led to benefits such as increased knowledge-sharing among technologists and researchers, they also involve risks, including misuse (e.g, for surveillance) and the perpetuation of bias. AI regulation on the continent is still emerging, and many countries are yet to adopt comprehensive regulatory agendas.
