Africafé: La régulation de l’intelligence artificielle en Afrique

February 22, 2024

La révolution intelligence artificielle submerge l’Afrique, en proie à d’importantes transitions. Reposant sur un processus d’imitation de l’intelligence humaine qui se base sur la création et l’application d’algorithmes, l’intelligence artificielle qui constitue le pilier de la quatrième révolution industrielle, est en mesure d’assoir l’émergence de l’Afrique, tout en accélérant la transformation de nombreux secteurs dont dépendra le futur du continent, notamment l’économie, l’agriculture, la santé, l’éducation et les services financiers. Cependant, bien que l’intelligence artificielle prend une place de plus en plus importante dans l’économie et les sociétés africaines, ses applications diverses, balbutiantes ou bien installées dans des secteurs d’activités variés, rendent sa régulation difficile au regard des enjeux industriels et éthiques qui l’accompagnent. La régulation de l’intelligence artificielle en Afrique qui consiste à encadrer le développement des technologies de l’IA, tout en favorisant l’innovation technologique, est dès lors indispensable pour éviter toute forme de dérive juridique. Si les Etats-Unis et l’UE ont un temps d’avance dans le domaine de la régulation de l’IA l’intelligence artificielle, l’Afrique compte bien rattraper son retard

    The headline itself was not surprising: ”Egyptians face peril at sea in dangerous new Exodus to  Europe”. The path, from hidden Egyptian ports to a neighboring Libyan landing spot and then to the Italian coast, has been tempting thousand Egyptians years ago, but recently, and apparently ever since, reported Ruth Michaelson in the British “Guardian” (December 18, 2022), the escape route has been “resurrected”, more than 20,000 Egyptians arrived last year in Italy via Libya, about thr ...

    Addressing inequalities in all their forms has emerged as one of the major global challenges faced by numerous countries across the globe, particularly in Africa. In a context where Africa faces many pressing challenges that are the subject of much analysis (Sarbib et al. 2022), there is a clear gap in conducting comprehensive reviews focused on inequalities, partly due to the lack of available data. Inequalities, which are both consequences and partial causes of poor development o ...

    La dernière série de coups d’État en Afrique subsaharienne cache-t-elle un spectaculaire retournement contre les processus politiques fondés sur le principe électoral qui avaient été engagés dans les années 1990 ? Pour sept pays concernés (Burkina Faso, Gabon, Guinée, Mali, Niger, Soudan, Tchad), la prise du pouvoir par les militaires signe la fin d’un cycle, celui de la tentative de démocratisation par l’élection, et l’entrée dans un nouveau cycle, à l’issue inconnue ...

    This paper reviews the past performance of industrialization in Africa and identifies key considerations for policymaking. To date, African countries have lagged in industrialization compared to other continents, in spite of the determined efforts and aspirations of their leaders. However, recent evidence suggests that Africa’s de-industrialization trend began to reverse in the past decade, with some countries experiencing growth in manufacturing employment. Notably, more jobs have ...
