The Lab for Ethics, Policy and Scaling of AI (LEPSAI), of the African Center for Technology Studies (ACTS) invites eligible Al innovators to express their interest in participating in the Al4D Innovation scaling challenge.
Opportunity Details
This project is intended to support deployed and in-use Al innovations that promise significant social impact and demonstrate readiness to scale. The innovation or solution must demonstrate readiness to scale beyond the current user base. Solutions must be beyond the proof-of-concept phase and be deployed under real-life conditions. Earlier-stage ideation-only concepts will not be considered at this time.
Responsible Al can tackle Africa's development challenges, but scaling real-world solutions responsibly is critical. Artificial Intelligence for Development (Al4D) is a programme, supported by Canada's International Development Research Centre and the UK government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, that aims to foster safe, inclusive and responsible Al ecosystems that empower people and accelerate progress on critical development challenges. AI4D supports responsible Al ecosystems where experts across Sub-Saharan Africa are enabled to develop their own solutions to these challenges and mitigate Al risks through safe, inclusive, rights-based and sustainable Al applications and policies.
