Abstract

The report provides a summary of project activities, milestones, achievements, outcomes and outputs. The project drew from the Global South ecosystem mapping, and facilitated a bottom-up network/community of researchers who investigated and provided recommendations on how future artificial intelligence for development (AI4D) networks’ research should be shaped. The project acknowledges the growing importance of funding Networks and domain-specific research relevant to African researchers and practitioners, with a focus on the ethical, legal and social aspects of AI research. One of the major results works towards addressing language barriers through machine translation.
