SIG AI - Governing AI: Deepfake, Privacy, and Policy Research for Africa

Description

This panel brings together early-career scholars from Africa conducting cutting-edge work across AI governance, deepfakes and synthetic media, and data privacy to offer perspectives on how these issues are understood and regulated across Africa, including in comparison to the US and EU. As AI policy conversations increasingly impact everyday life globally, this panel centers scholarship connecting legal, political, and lived experiences across these regions.
