Edition 5.0
AI & Governance
A live conversation on AI governance in Africa: policy, safety and the guardrails needed as builders ship AI products across the continent.
Watch on YouTubeA policy & research nexus for African AI
Africa's policy & research nexus for AI.
We study how AI is being built, deployed, and governed across Africa, and equip the builders, policymakers, and institutions shaping what comes next.
Why we exist
Policy written elsewhere doesn't fit here.
Africa doesn't need AI policy imported from elsewhere and applied on top. It needs institutions that understand African languages, infrastructure, markets, and governance realities, and can turn that understanding into research, evals, and policy that actually holds up.
Afritech Intelligence is that institution: a working group of researchers, policy thinkers, and builders producing the evidence and frameworks Africa's AI ecosystem runs on.
What we do
Research and policy, grounded in Africa.
Not another AI hype circle. A working group producing the evidence the continent's AI ecosystem actually needs.
Research
Applied AI research for African contexts.
Evals, publications, and prototypes documenting how AI systems perform and fail in African languages, markets, and infrastructure.
Policy
Governance frameworks that fit the continent.
Policy briefs, convenings, and advisory work on AI governance, safety, and regulation, built with African policymakers and institutions, not around them.
Case Studies
Evidence from the ground.
Documented deployments: localized LLMs, AI products, public-sector pilots that show what works, what doesn't, and why.
Community
A network, not a course.
Builders, researchers, and policymakers convening in public through the Roundtable and shared research.
Policy & Practice Roundtable
Honest conversations on AI in Africa.
Live conversations where builders, policymakers, and researchers say the honest thing about AI in Africa: governance, healthcare, infrastructure, and what's actually shipping.
Edition 4.0
AI & Healthcare
Can AI fix African healthcare, or are we building smart tools for broken systems? A live conversation with Eno Peters and Femi Taiwo, Senior PM at Talamus Health.
