AI4D Programme
The AI4D (Artificial Intelligence for Development) programme is an initiative focused on advancing artificial intelligence (AI) research, innovation, and capacity-building in the Global South, particularly in Africa. The programme aims to ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that address local challenges, promote sustainable development, and create inclusive benefits.Past projects
