A New Research Agenda for African generative AI | Nature

Dona Mathew

The rise of generative AI requires a research agenda grounded in the African context to determine locally relevant strategies for its development and use. With a critical mass of evidence on the risks and benefits that generative AI poses to African societies, the scaled use of this new technology might help to reduce rising global inequities.

Research Associate Dona Mathew contributed to this article in Nature which examines the importance of a contextualised research agenda, grounded in a Global South Context, for developing and using generative AI tools.
