Since its launch in 2020, the Responsible AI Network - Africa - TUM/KNUST has brought together important stakeholders from different sectors to discuss and build joint projects on the ethical and social challenges arising at the interface of technology and human values. During these three years, RAIN-Africa has provided a platform to promote cross-regional and interdisciplinary discussions regarding the responsible development and use of AI in Africa.   "We’re frequently confronted with similar ethical problems with AI, all around the world. So, it’s important we tackle these problems not only by working at the local level but also through networking" Christoph Lütge   "For many people, the central question is whether the benefits of this technology are distributed fairly, justly, or whether only a select few stand to profit. This aspect is decidedly crucial in Africa.” Caitlin Corrigan   The Technical University of Munich's scientific magazine, “Faszination Forschung", provides insights into the world of #science and #research at #TUM. The September issue sheds light on five research projects in the #GlobalSouth. We are thrilled that the #EIAI co-founded platform, #AIAfricaNetwork, is included in this selection.   ➡️Read and/or download the magazine: English: https://lnkd.in/eeVmW4Rw German: https://lnkd.in/eabzBDyG ➡️Explore additional information and access past issues: https://lnkd.in/e2ZsDFtJ   #ai #artificialintelligence #aiethics #responsbileAI #Africa #Inclusion #Diversity #KNUST #Ghana
