N° du projet 537GLO3000

This project aims to strengthen capacities and policies of Member States in Africa and SIDS to benefit from AI technologies and to address the associated ethical risks. This will be pursued through the development of innovative capacity-building tools, including the ethical impact assessment and readiness assessment methodology as outlined in the Recommendation on Ethics of AI, which upholds protection, promotion and respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, human dignity and equality as its objective. Once developed, these tools will be piloted in 6 countries and then rolled out in a further 12 countries in the region and eventually launched globally.
