dc.description.abstractThe report covers activities, outputs and outcomes of the project, with embedded links to policy papers and briefs. Overall, it aimed to improve understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy and capacity in Africa, and to support responsible artificial intelligence for development (AI4D). The project entailed mapping the application of AI on the continent in three thematic areas: (1) digital ID and biometrics; (2) computer vision and video surveillance; (3) capacity and workforce development. Each of the thematic areas included consideration of gender implications. A fourth thematic area examined trends in AI and fintech. Fintech refers to the integration of technology in financial services from a gender perspective.en
