SA organisations commit to responsible use of AI

#artificialintelligence

South African organisations yesterday committed to being responsible in their use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Stakeholders yesterday participated in a virtual event – AI Dialogue South Africa – which culminated in the signing of the expression of interest (EOI) that advocates for responsible AI. The AI Dialogue South Africa is spearheaded by Convergence Partners, Accenture, University of Johannesburg, Digital Council Africa and Sun & Shield Technologies. In a statement, the organisations say much like a microcosm of our socio-economic context, the AI landscape in SA is uneven and burdened with regulatory challenges. They add that if not addressed, these challenges could give more power to those who already control AI systems, evoking concerns about power dynamics and how the role of humans will be redefined.
