Support Implementation of a Peer Learning and Capacity Building Programme for Policy Makers from Africa and Asia on Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
to enhance the capacity of policy makers from Asia and Africa to respond to the challenges and benefits of AI in strengthening systems of governance and sustainable development by institutionalising policies that promote use of AI in ways that are inclusive, responsible, and sustainable. In addition, this assignment also aims to create platforms for knowledge exchange and peer learning between policymakers and decisionmakers to foster meaningful networks and relationships between different countries and contexts. To do so effectively, the HSRC-Consortium will be committed to developing content that is context-specific to address to some of the most significant challenges facing partner countries, such as improving access to service delivery, strengthening levels of regional and domestic security, and creating more diverse and representative AI workforces. Such commitment will be complemented by continuous support for, and promotion of, respect for human rights and democratic governance, and specific attention to institutionalising policy frameworks for responsible use of AI and technology, as well as regulations and protocols for data governance and information sharing.
