African Hub on AI Safety, Peace and Security

The African Hub on AI Safety, Peace and Security is the first initiative of its kind on the continent focused on addressing the real-world risks, harms, and opportunities of artificial intelligence through an African lens.

The Hub is co-ed by the Global Center on AI Governance (GCG) in partnership with the University of Cape Town (UCT).

The Hub will advance research on AI safety and governance, build local capacity through interdisciplinary training and mentorship, and influence policy to ensure African priorities are represented in global AI safety frameworks.

By connecting researchers, policymakers, and innovators, the Hub aims to make AI development in Africa safe, inclusive, and aligned with the continent’s values strengthening Africa’s role as a key player in shaping the global AI future
