The Datasphere Initiative, D4D Network, and the Global Index on Responsible AI are hosting a webinar on “Data for Artificial Intelligence in Africa: Trends and Challenges.”

The session will be held on October 5th, at 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm UTC / 10:00 am – 11:30 am EST / 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm CEST (check your timezone here).

In this next event of the webinar series Let’s Talk About Data & AI, we will discuss the main trends and challenges for the use of artificial intelligence in the African continent and, in particular, the role of data governance in support of responsible AI development.

This session aims to spark a more comprehensive discussion around how the data and its governance are being used for AI developments in the region and the potential disparities that are created, including when AI solutions are provided by actors from the Global North with data from the global north. The webinar will also showcase opportunities to engage in the Datasphere Initiative’s Africa Forum on Sandboxes for Data and discuss how sandboxes can be used to test and innovate AI models to responsibly unlock the value of data for Africa.
