Colleagues,<br>
<br>
<br>
These two articles might be of interest to governments and researchers. Details below<br>
<br>
<br>
Researchers back African Union to join G20 group of largest economic powers. Including African Union in the G20 is a matter of ethics and fairness, researchers say. Details at <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01014-z" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01014-z</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Reuters article on India seeks African Union's full membership in G20<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/indias-modi-seeks-african-unions-full-membership-g20-2023-06-18/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/world/indias-modi-seeks-african-unions-full-membership-g20-2023-06-18/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
The theme of India?s G20 Presidency - ?Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam? or ?One Earth ? One Family ? One Future? - is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad.<br>
<br>

Subject: AI regulation: Why Africa must have a voice in global talks<br>
<br>
<br>
This article on ?AI regulation: Why Africa must have a voice in global talks? might be of interest.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
? Indeed, the idea of a new international watchdog overseeing this new technology could be very useful.<br>
<br>
But given Africa?s future role in global markets, there is a strong case for this new body to be based in Cairo, Lagos, Nairobi or Cape Town, rather than in London. Indeed, if it is not, there is a real risk that the digital inequalities between Africa and the rest of the world will be exacerbated by AI, not reduced or managed.<br>
<br>
The time is now to be thinking these issues through ? and planning ahead ? before AI really scales up on the continent, because by then, it will be too late to pull back.?<br>
