CIPESA will participate at the India AI Impact Summit which is one of the largest gatherings on AI in the global South. It happens at a time when conversations on artificial intelligence are increasingly focused on the impact of AI on live hoods, civic participation and democracy. We look forward to sharing insights from the landmark 2025 edition of the State of Internet Freedom in Africa report which focused on the Implications of AI on Digital Democracy in Africa.
Our research on AI governance in Africa spans its impact on areas such as data protection, algorithmic accountability, disinformation, digital trade, and the political economy of AI. As global norms on AI take shape, we will advance the case for rights-respecting frameworks that center African realities, strengthen democratic oversight, and ensure that AI systems deployed across the continent.
