Late last year we started the AfriClimate AI research community coming out of the Deep Learning Indaba. The blog post below articulates why such communities are critical to AI driven Climate Action. https://lnkd.in/gJNJ-yP6

Exploring the Future of AI in Southern Africa Have you delved into UNESCO's Windhoek Statement on Artificial Intelligence in Southern Africa yet? Here are five key insights shaping AI policy in the region: 1️⃣ "AI's transformative power is reshaping our world, blurring boundaries between physical, digital, and biological realms." (Page 1) 2️⃣ UNESCO reports underscore the urgency to enhance AI governance, education, and research in Africa. (Page 2) 3️⃣ Setting up ICT and innovation hubs, even in rural areas, aims to democratize access to AI and foster smart communities. (Page 4) 4️⃣ Programs targeting public awareness and literacy on ethical AI usage, especially for youth and marginalized groups, are vital.

Africa is one of UNESCO's two global priorities. UNESCO supports Africa through our Operational Strategy for Priority Africa 2022-2029. We had the Group of Friends for the implementation of the Operational Strategy today, especially on the flagship 4, Harnessing new and emerging technology for sustainable development in Africa. Disaster risk reduction using innovation, AI is one of the topics discussed today. UNESCO has supported African countries through AI Chatbot for risk communication, social media analysis by AI to understand the timeline of citizens' requests, flood forecasting with AI, and using satellite images for flood forecasting. Thank you, Ghana and the US for chairing the discussion. Thank you Kenya, Japan, and the AI movement from Morocco for sharing various activities/supports with us. #unesco #artificialintelligence #disasterriskreduction #ghana #usa #kenya #japan Ai Movement UM6P - Mohammed VI Polytechnic University

𝐀 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 The first High-Level Forum on AI in Africa was held in June at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco. The forum’s theme was “AI as a Lever for Development in Africa.” This event led to the establishment of the AI Movement as a UNESCO Category 2 Centre and a tripartite agreement was signed between UNESCO, the Moroccan Government, and the AI Movement. The forum’s participants included judges, parliamentarians, government officials, private sector representatives, civil society members, and artists. The discussions focused on AI strategies, policies, opportunities, and risks in Africa. Also, the African Consensus on AI: A Call to Action was adopted, with principles of inclusive AI governance, AI for public good, and ethical AI development. The key recommendations included prioritizing AI infrastructure, preventing brain drain, and expanding African language datasets. In addition, they aim to foster partnerships and international cooperation, promote innovation, enhance digital literacy, and build stakeholder capacity. UNESCO and the AI Movement intend to train 5,000 African civil servants in AI and digital transformation over the next three years.
