AI for the Global South
Artificial intelligence is reshaping education, labor, and governance everywhere — but the defaults are being set elsewhere. This initiative makes sure the South sets its own.
AI research agendas
Southern-led research on AI in education, health, agriculture, and public services — grounded in local data, languages, and realities.
AI governance
Frameworks for ethical, inclusive AI policy — with ministries and regional bodies, connected to the global governance conversation.
Applied AI labs
Pilot innovation labs from 2027 — AI & education first, then climate, public policy, and digital governance applications.
Skills & leadership
AI literacy for policymakers and executives through the GPS Academy; technical capacity through university partners.
AI & governance dialogues
A GPS Dialogues strand running through 2026 — join the conversation early. Upcoming dialogues
Publications
Policy briefs and working papers on AI for development — in the repository as they publish.
Track II at Kigali 2027 — Technology & Digital Innovation — is this initiative's flagship stage. See the tracks
