General
This Project will seek to demonstrate UK leadership in global Scientific and Technological changes. This is an envisaged outcome in the Business Case that has not been comprehensively supported as a cross-cutting initiative in the programme to date. The training, to be piloted as a G20 initiative in South Africa in 2025 in partnership with TIU and ITD, is aimed at deepening understanding of AI for diverse global contexts and equipping participants to responsibly utilise AI for public interest priorities while managing associated risks. The NCE will enable replication in East and West Africa partner countries.
