South Africa takes first steps to crafting AI policy

The South African government is initiating a shift towards prioritizing artificial intelligence (AI) policy. A recent AI planning discussion document was published to foster dialogue between public and private sectors, although it received mixed reviews. Following this, an AI policy framework has been released, aiming to establish a comprehensive national AI policy with stakeholder input.

The framework emphasizes a human-centered approach to AI, balancing technological advancement with ethical considerations. It outlines strategic pillars such as talent development, digital infrastructure, and ethical guidelines to ensure responsible AI deployment. This marks a significant change in the government's approach to AI, with potential implications for economic growth and societal well-being.
