The Continental Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy offers direction to African nations on how to use AI to achieve Africa’s development goals and improve the welfare of its population, while also advocating for ethical practices, mitigating possible dangers, and capitalizing on possibilities, the African Union stated.

Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for Africa to prioritize and take action in order to take full advantage of the significant opportunities presented by AI.

The strategy calls for an approach that is Africa-centered, focused on development, and inclusive of its people while aiming to accelerate the AI capabilities of African countries in areas such as infrastructure, human capital, datasets, innovation, partnerships, education and skills, healthcare, agriculture, peace, security, and good governance.
