The panel will focus on the complex trajectories of AI within eastern Africa, in order to interrogate AI’s impacts within lived realities in the region.
Sharath has organised the panel with Dr George Hamandishe Karekwaivanane, Lecturer in African Studies, University of Edinburgh.
In line with the theme of the conference, African, Afropolitan, and Afropean Belongings and Identities, papers will consider AI in eastern Africa from multiple disciplinary perspectives in order to bring a complex, grounded and holistic picture of how AI is being produced, imagined and lived within and from Africa. With this, the panel will create space to consider imaginaries and impacts of AI on their own terms, contributing to challenging power inequalities in knowledge production about AI.
