尽管存在障碍,但非洲青年仍进行创新;联合国和专家敦促公平获得大赦国际服务、治理和基础设施,以防止不平等加深。 African youth innovate despite barriers; UN and experts urge equitable AI access, governance, and infrastructure to prevent deepening inequality.

在比勒陀利亚论坛上,开发署的马克斯韦尔·戈梅拉(Maxwell Gomera)指出,非洲青年正在推动创新,以解决全大陆的挑战,但需要更好地获得技术、辅导和公平监管,以扩大工作规模。 African youth are driving innovation to solve continent-wide challenges but require better access to technology, mentorship, and fair regulations to scale their work, UNDP’s Maxwell Gomera said at a Pretoria forum. 他强调了GPUs和数据中心的高成本等障碍,并呼吁通过“Timbuktu”倡议建立泛非基础设施,并通过“数据大使馆”共享数据系统。 在阿克拉AI峰会上,利益攸关方强调需要包容性、地方主导的AI治理,敦促非洲制定全球标准,而不是遵循西方模式。 He highlighted barriers like high costs for GPUs and data centers, and called for pan-African infrastructure through the “Timbuktu” initiative and shared data systems via “data embassies.” At an Accra AI summit, stakeholders stressed the need for inclusive, locally led AI governance, urging Africa to set global standards rather than follow Western models. 关键的优先事项包括公平管理、性别包容 -- -- 卢旺达妇女方案就是例子 -- -- 以及克服诸如语言排斥和基础设施差等数字鸿沟。 Key priorities include equitable regulation, gender inclusion—exemplified by Rwanda’s FemAI programme—and overcoming digital divides such as language exclusion and poor infrastructure. 虽然有进展, 但专家警告说, 如果不采取有意行动, 人工智能可能会加深不平等, While progress is being made, experts warn that without intentional action, AI risks deepening inequalities and sidelining women and marginalized communities.
