Project overview
For the FATES of Africa: A co-developed pipeline for responsible AI in online learning across Africa project focuses attention on a population that is vast on a global scale, yet is often left behind: namely, online learners in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our partnership will develop a ‘how-to’ pipeline for protecting and championing responsible AI among SSA online learners: from the conception of an online learning idea, through iterative design and development, until the moment of scale. We will deliver a comprehensive programme of consultation across the edtech ecosystem in SSA. Finally, an openly available Toolkit will be published, alongside policy and academic papers, as outputs from this project.
