   <narrative xml:lang="FR">L&#x2019;adoption de l&#x2019;intelligence artificielle (IA) conna&#xee;t un essor notable dans toute l&#x2019;Afrique, offrant de nouvelles possibilit&#xe9;s pour un d&#xe9;veloppement inclusif et durable. Les technologies de l&#x2019;IA sont int&#xe9;gr&#xe9;es dans divers secteurs, tels que les soins de sant&#xe9;, l&#x2019;agriculture et l&#x2019;&#xe9;ducation, afin d&#x2019;am&#xe9;liorer les services et les r&#xe9;sultats. Toutefois, pour r&#xe9;aliser pleinement le potentiel de l&#x2019;IA en Afrique, il est essentiel de relever les d&#xe9;fis li&#xe9;s &#xe0; l&#x2019;infrastructure, aux capacit&#xe9;s techniques, &#xe0; la sensibilisation et au d&#xe9;veloppement et &#xe0; l&#x2019;utilisation responsables de l&#x2019;IA. 

Ce projet vise &#xe0; d&#xe9;velopper et &#xe0; amplifier l&#x2019;impact obtenu jusqu&#x2019;&#xe0; pr&#xe9;sent par le laboratoire africain d&#x2019;IA (AfriAI Lab) en Tanzanie. L&#x2019;AfriAI Lab cr&#xe9;era un espace de travail, soutiendra les innovatrices, les innovateurs, les &#xe9;tudiantes et les &#xe9;tudiants, m&#xe8;nera des activit&#xe9;s de renforcement des capacit&#xe9;s et de recherche exploratoire, et fournira des donn&#xe9;es probantes pour l&#x2019;&#xe9;laboration de politiques en mati&#xe8;re d&#x2019;IA en Tanzanie. 

Ce projet s&#x2019;inscrit dans le cadre du programme d&#x2019;intelligence artificielle pour le d&#xe9;veloppement (IAPD), un partenariat de cinq ans entre le CRDI et le Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office du Royaume-Uni visant &#xe0; soutenir les politiques, les innovations et un leadership &#xe9;largi afin de stimuler l&#x2019;utilisation et le d&#xe9;veloppement s&#xfb;rs et responsables de l&#x2019;IA en Afrique. La vision de ce partenariat est de soutenir un &#xe9;cosyst&#xe8;me d&#x2019;IA inclusif et responsable qui am&#xe9;liore la qualit&#xe9; de vie de toutes et de tous en Afrique et ailleurs.</narrative>
   <narrative xml:lang="EN">There is a notable surge in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across Africa, offering new opportunities for inclusive and sustainable development. AI technologies are being integrated into various sectors, such as health care, agriculture and education, to enhance services and outcomes. However, to fully realize the potential of AI in Africa, it is crucial to address challenges related to infrastructure, technical capacity, awareness and responsible development and use of AI. 

This project seeks to scale up and amplify the impact achieved so far by the African AI Lab (AfriAI Lab) in Tanzania. The AfriAi Lab will create a workspace, support innovators and students, conduct capacity building and exploratory research, and contribute evidence for AI policymaking in Tanzania. 

This project is a part of the Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D) program, a five-year partnership between IDRC and the United Kingdom&#x2019;s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to support policy, innovations and expanded leadership to spur safe and responsible AI development and use in Africa. The vision of the partnership is to support an inclusive, responsible AI ecosystem that improves quality of life for all in Africa and beyond.</narrative>
