African AI Governance
We don't need Western frameworks adapted to African contexts. We need African frameworks, designed by Africans, for African problems, rooted in data sovereignty, algorithmic accountability, and African values.
The African Ethical AI Charter
Continental charter on AI ethics and governance
2026 Launch
Charter Principles
African Agency & Leadership
Africans lead AI governance in Africa. Technology is a tool; Africans define strategy.
Data Sovereignty
African data is African asset. No extraction without consent. Data benefits stay in Africa.
Algorithmic Accountability
AI systems must be explainable & auditable. Bias & fairness regularly assessed.
Equitable Benefit-Sharing
AI benefits are broadly shared, not concentrated. Innovation serves African problems.
Cultural Values
AI systems respect African cultures, histories, values. Diversity embedded in AI design.
Public Interest
AI governance prioritizes public good. Transparency in high-impact decisions.
