For artificial intelligence (AI) to be benefi.cially deployed in Africa, appropriate local policy and regulatory frameworks that leverage benefits, whilst preventing harms and mitigating risks must be introduce.

Policies on data protection, privacy, security that build trust, and improve accountability and fairness, are essential.
