Research Project Background
The AI in Africa Research Project, led by African Leadership University (ALU) and SAND Technologies, is a Google-sponsored initiative exploring the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) across Sub-Saharan Africa. The research focuses on education, agriculture, health, and SME enablement, assessing AI’s potential to drive innovation while ensuring responsible development and governance.
Covering Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, and Togo, the project engages governments, businesses, academia, and civil society to generate insights that shape AI policies and strategies. Through roundtables, sector discussions, and high-profile convenings, the findings will inform practical AI governance frameworks for the region
