Our Mission

Closing the AI Agency Gap

Africa produces 2% of global AI research but consumes technologies that were never designed for our specific languages, economy, or data. This gap, between consumption and agency is what we exist to close.

The Problem

Across Africa, AI is deployed in education, healthcare, finance, and agriculture often with frameworks designed in Silicon Valley or Beijing. These solutions don't reflect African values, priorities, or contexts. They can entrench inequality, undermine data sovereignty, and sideline African talent.

Our Solution

African researchers, educators, and policymakers have the expertise and passion to lead. AI-4AI provides the institutions, resources, and platforms they need to design, govern, and benefit from AI at scale on African terms.
