AI’s popularity on the African continent is fast rising and the need for regulation of its dynamic nature ought to be addressed by African stakeholders. In identifying stakeholders in the African AI ecosystem it is crucial to understanding the role of different stakeholders in the ecosystem.
The AI Stakeholder Dashboard is designed to identify stakeholders within the African AI ecosystem by applying the stakeholder framework to existing National AI strategies and foundational laws i.e. Data Protection Laws. Through this, we aim to establish the responsibilities and accountabilities of the identified stakeholders through the three normative claims: Fair economic opportunity, Legitimacy, and political equality and Authenticity.
The dashboard creates an understanding and classification of,
- The stakeholder framework based on the normative claims
- The stakeholder classification
- The Application of the Stakeholder framework derived from, ‘Framing AI through an African Lens
- A Mapping of National AI strategies and foundational laws in Africa. This will demonstrate the application of the stakeholder framework by identifying how accountability and responsibility can be attributed to stakeholders as classified within the normative claims.
