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

    Après presque 80 ans de la création de l’Organisation des Nations Unies, l’Afrique n’est toujours pas admise comme membre permanent au sein de son super organe : le Conseil de Sécurité. Cette « discrimination institutionnelle » à l’endroit des pays africains est aujourd’hui juridiquement indéfendable et politiquement insoutenable. Mais, par- dessus tout, une telle mise à l’écart de 54 États représentant plus d’un milliard de personnes est stratégiquement défavorable pour ...

    Nearly 80 years after the establishment of the United Nations, Africa has yet to be granted a permanent seat on its most powerful organ, the Security Council. This "institutional discrimination" against African countries is both legally indefensible and politically untenable. Moreover, for Western nations seeking legitimacy and adaptation in a changing global geopolitical landscape, excluding 4 states representing over a billion people is strategically disadvantageous. This Policy B ...

    The 2024 Presidential election in the United States will be historic and consequential. Both candidates are history-making in different ways. Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, is the first woman of African and Asian descent to become the Democratic Party’s nominee, while President Trump won his party’s nomination without participating in any Republic Primary debates. Even more strikingly different are their parties’ platforms—what they would do if elected. However, i ...
