“…In [54] the present Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and the Internet of Things, there are both opportunities and challenges for decolonization efforts [55,56]. Digital technologies enable grassroots activism, knowledge-sharing, and cultural preservation initiatives among marginalized communities, yet concerns persist about the perpetuation of digital colonialism [54,57,58]. This phenomenon sees global tech giants wielding disproportionate power over data, algorithms and digital infrastructures, exacerbating existing inequalities and marginalizing indigenous voices and perspectives [5,59].…”

Global artificial intelligence (AI) governance must prioritize equity, embrace a decolonial mindset, and provide the Global South countries the authority to spearhead solution creation. Decolonization is crucial for dismantling Western-centric cognitive frameworks and mitigating biases. Integrating a decolonial approach to AI governance involves recognizing persistent colonial repercussions, leading to biases in AI solutions and disparities in AI access based on gender, race, geography, income and societal factors. This paradigm shift necessitates deliberate efforts to deconstruct imperial structures governing knowledge production, perpetuating global unequal resource access and biases. This research evaluates Sub-Saharan African progress in AI governance decolonization, focusing on indicators like AI governance institutions, national strategies, sovereignty prioritization, data protection regulations, and adherence to local data usage requirements. Results show limited progress, with only Rwanda notably responsive to decolonization among the ten countries evaluated; 80% are ‘decolonization-aware’, and one is ‘decolonization-blind’. The paper provides a detailed analysis of each nation, offering recommendations for fostering decolonization, including stakeholder involvement, addressing inequalities, promoting ethical AI, supporting local innovation, building regional partnerships, capacity building, public awareness, and inclusive governance. This paper contributes to elucidating the challenges and opportunities associated with decolonization in SSA countries, thereby enriching the ongoing discourse on global AI governance.
