Encode Africa presents: AI & Diplomacy — Global Governance & Autonomous Systems
As the global landscape of warfare and statecraft shifts, the question remains: Where does Africa stand? In April, Encode Africa moves into the world of International Relations and AI Diplomacy. This Action Week is designed to equip young African researchers and policy advocates with the language of diplomacy to navigate the complex debate on autonomous weapons and digital sovereignty.
What to Expect: We are moving beyond the headlines to understand the treaties, the ethics, and the strategic risks of AI in global security. This week is about learning how to represent African interests in international forums like the UN and the AU.
