AI Safety Action Weeks February Edition

​AI Safety Action Weeks Are Back: Feb’26 Edition

​After a strong kickoff in January, AI Safety Action Weeks return this February with a new focus and deeper conversations.

​Our January edition introduced a hands-on, beginner-friendly space to explore AI safety beyond buzzwords. Together, we tested a learning-by-doing format built around short sessions, light quests, and community discussion.

​This February, we’re building on that momentum.

​February Theme: Our Identity and AI

​This edition explores how AI intersects with our cultures, languages, and futures as Africans and members of the diaspora. Rather than starting with technical prerequisites, we turn to questions of representation, power, and locally grounded innovation.

​Featured Sessions

• ​Language as Power: Should LLMs in our local languages be a priority?

• ​The Digital Mirror: How AI bias affects African identities

• ​Building Our Own: Case studies of AI built for Africa, by Africans

​What to Expect

• ​Accessible Format: Live, remote sessions (30-45 minutes) featuring African and global voices in AI safety and governance.

• ​Learn by Doing: Interactive activities, light quests, and curated readings to build practical intuition.

• ​Beginner Friendly: A low-pressure sprint open to students, researchers, and builders.

• ​A Growing Pathway: A launchpad toward deeper engagement in AI safety, governance, and community-led innovation.
