   <narrative xml:lang="FR">Des m&#xe9;canismes r&#xe9;glementaires solides et r&#xe9;actifs sont n&#xe9;cessaires pour &#xe9;tablir la confiance dans la s&#xe9;curit&#xe9; et l&#x2019;efficacit&#xe9; des syst&#xe8;mes d&#x2019;intelligence artificielle (IA) dans les soins de sant&#xe9;. Toutefois, les pays &#xe0; revenu faible et interm&#xe9;diaire n&#x2019;ont souvent pas la capacit&#xe9; r&#xe9;glementaire n&#xe9;cessaire pour suivre le rythme de l&#x2019;innovation technologique. HealthAI propose une approche ascendante pour cr&#xe9;er un cadre r&#xe9;glementaire responsable en mati&#xe8;re d&#x2019;IA. Le projet vise &#xe0; &#xe9;tablir et &#xe0; renforcer, en &#xe9;troite collaboration avec les b&#xe9;n&#xe9;ficiaires locaux, les processus de validation et d&#x2019;approbation r&#xe9;glementaire de l&#x2019;IA dans le domaine de la sant&#xe9; dans deux pays africains s&#xe9;lectionn&#xe9;s. 

Le projet renforcera les capacit&#xe9;s r&#xe9;glementaires locales des autorit&#xe9;s comp&#xe9;tentes en mati&#xe8;re d&#x2019;IA dans le domaine de la sant&#xe9; gr&#xe2;ce &#xe0; la formation, &#xe0; la diffusion des connaissances et &#xe0; l&#x2019;assistance technique, &#xe0; la cocr&#xe9;ation et &#xe0; l&#x2019;affinement de m&#xe9;thodologies et d&#x2019;outils pratiques, et &#xe0; la mise en place d&#x2019;&#xe9;cosyst&#xe8;mes r&#xe9;glementaires collaboratifs compos&#xe9;s de parties prenantes locales et internationales, notamment de responsables politiques, d&#x2019;organismes r&#xe9;glementaires, de chercheuses et de chercheurs et de d&#xe9;veloppeurs dans le domaine de l&#x2019;IA. 

Ce projet est financ&#xe9; par l&#x2019;initiative &#xab; Intelligence artificielle pour le d&#xe9;veloppement : IA responsable, autonomisation des personnes &#xbb; (IAPD-FCDO), 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 le d&#xe9;veloppement s&#xfb;r et responsable de l&#x2019;IA en Afrique. La vision de ce nouveau programme 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">Strong, responsive regulatory mechanisms are required to establish trust in the safety of artificial intelligence (AI) systems&#x2019; safety and effectiveness in health care. However, low- and middle-income countries often do not have the regulatory capacity to match the pace of technological innovation. HealthAI proposes a bottom-up approach of creating a responsible AI regulatory framework. The project aims at establishing and strengthening, in close collaboration with local grantees, country-led validation and regulatory approval processes for AI in health in two selected African countries. 

The project will strengthen local regulatory capacity for AI in health of the relevant authorities through training, knowledge sharing and technical support; co-create and refine practical methodologies and tools; and build collaborative regulatory ecosystems of local and international stakeholders, including policymakers, regulators and AI researchers and developers. 

This project is funded through the Artificial Intelligence for Development: Responsible AI, Empowering People (AI4D-FCDO) 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 in Africa. The vision of the program is to support an inclusive, responsible AI ecosystem that improves the quality of life for all in Africa and beyond.</narrative>
