Flagship Projects
AI4D’s flagship projects are high-impact initiatives setting the standard for responsible AI development. They tackle pressing challenges, deliver impactful solutions, and advance progress towards responsible AI across the Global South.
Artificial Intelligence for Global Health
The AI4GH initiative supports robust, innovative and interdisciplinary research projects and processes across sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa. Each activity within AI4GH promotes ‘responsible AI’ (solutions that are ethical, inclusive, rights-respecting and sustainable) that aims to strengthen gender equality and inclusion, and integrate plans for sustainability, scale and influence. This initiative aims to build regional and global networks across a range of actors, including researchers, policymakers, practitioners, the private sector and civil society.
Lab for the Ethics, Policy and Scaling of Responsible AI (LEPSAI)
Responsible AI can tackle Africa’s development challenges, but scaling real-world solutions is critical. This project establishes a lab to guide scaling efforts, mentor innovators, and develop use cases, enhancing collaboration and advancing an inclusive AI ecosystem across the continent.
Global Index on Responsible AI
The Global Index on Responsible AI offers a comprehensive benchmark of countries' commitment to responsible AI, specifically ensuring human rights protections. This project will track emerging trends over time, amplify marginalised voices and provide actionable recommendations to policymakers to align technological advancements with ethical principles and societal wellbeing.
