Ahead of April review, South Africa’s AI policy faces pressure to deliver
- South Africa's National AI Policy framework is open for public input review this April.
- Experts are concerned about the slow progress and lack of clear direction in South Africa's AI policy implementation.
- Rwanda has approved its national AI policy focusing on ethical AI development and economic growth.
The slow progress of South Africa's AI policy framework is concerning, as it not only hampers local innovation but also risks the country's competitive edge in the global AI landscape. A clear regulatory roadmap is essential to attract investment and retain talent, and without it, South Africa may miss out on significant economic opportunities.
