Abstract
In this presentation, we examine Africa’s preparedness for the ethical implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on its unique ethical and societal impacts.
Additionally, we explore both the opportunities and challenges for AI in Africa, illustrating the complexities of AI adoption. We provide actionable recommendations tailored to Africa’s needs, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based approaches, and capacity-building initiatives. Finally, we propose a roadmap for responsible AI-driven development, particularly in the health sector.
