South Africa has published a national policy framework for artificial intelligence (AI) and is seeking feedback from stakeholders. This framework is the first step towards developing a comprehensive national AI policy. It aims to foster a robust AI ecosystem through coordinated efforts in research, talent cultivation, and infrastructure enhancement. The policy also emphasizes the importance of addressing ethical, social, and economic implications to ensure AI benefits are broadly shared and risks are managed effectively. The government plans to conduct formal consultations with stakeholders and gather feedback via email by the end of September. The ultimate goal is to create AI regulations and potentially an AI Act that aligns with South Africa’s socioeconomic goals and values.
