AI in Africa – reality, regulation and risks

In a podcast sponsored by Adams & Adams, we focus on the reality, regulation and risks of artificial intelligence in Africa and around the world.

Partner Werina Griffiths and associate Nontando Tusi at Adams & Adams in South Africa joined Managing IP senior reporter Rani Mehta to discuss:

• How has AI been used in various African countries?
• Have there been any steps taken to regulate the use of AI in these countries?
• How have different jurisdictions addressed the issue of whether content generated by AI models qualifies for copyright protection?
