Digital Infrastructure and Innovation

Global South AI Community

Technology is reshaping how people live, learn, and work.

The Challenge

AI innovators across the Global South face persistent challenges in developing and scaling solutions that are grounded in local contexts and integrated into broader development ecosystems.

The Solution

Axum manages the Global South AI Community of Practice, connecting AI researchers, policymakers, and practitioners across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to ensure the Global South has an active voice in how AI is developed, deployed, and governed globally.

The Impact

The Community is growing rapidly, with members across dozens of countries collaborating on AI ethics, data governance, and the development of AI applications relevant to African and Global South contexts and priorities.
