Summary: | This white paper is the output of a multidisciplinary workshop in Nairobi
(Nov 2023). Led by a cross-organisational team including Microsoft Research,
NEPAD, Lelapa AI, and University of Oxford. The workshop brought together
diverse thought-leaders from various sectors and backgrounds to discuss the
implications of Generative AI for the future of work in Africa. Discussions
centred around four key themes: Macroeconomic Impacts; Jobs, Skills and Labour
Markets; Workers' Perspectives and Africa-Centris AI Platforms. The white paper
provides an overview of the current state and trends of generative AI and its
applications in different domains, as well as the challenges and risks
associated with its adoption and regulation. It represents a diverse set of
perspectives to create a set of insights and recommendations which aim to
encourage debate and collaborative action towards creating a dignified future
of work for everyone across Africa. |
