Whereas AI may perpetrate biases and discrimination, the state of AI Governance in Africa is that there is a lack of a comprehensive framework suitable to the continent. This paper examines four ideas derivable from the African Charter relevant to the discourse. Though adopted in 1981, while discourse on AI in Africa started in the early 2000s, the African Charter contains useful ideas on achieving fair AI, being the principal human rights instrument in Africa. These ideas highlight key areas to focus on when making AI legal and policy framework. The statistics found by the paper is that while 54 African States have ratified the African Charter, only 17 have taken steps to develop AI Governance framework. This shows that the effort, collectively, is about 31%. African States need to assert more efforts to ensure the realization of their responsibility to respect, protect and fulfill human rights on the continent.
