Dr. Kutoma Wakunuma will discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with ethics and social justice in Africa, focusing on the challenges and opportunities AI presents. It will address issues such as biases, data privacy, and the digital divide, emphasizing the need for inclusive AI policies that ensure equitable access. The discussion highlights the importance of developing Africa-specific ethical frameworks for AI, grounded in the continent's cultural, social, and economic realities. These frameworks aim to mitigate risks and promote AI as a tool for sustainable development and justice. Collaboration among African governments, academia, industry, and civil society is deemed essential for shaping a future where AI contributes positively to social justice and equitable development.
