Responsible and Safe AI: A Primer for Policymakers in the Global South

Recognizing this demand, the Igarape Institute and New America have just released a comprehensive guide, “Responsible and Safe AI: A Primer for Policymakers in the Global South.” The report offers practical recommendations aiming at assisting leaders and policymakers in the Global South with navigating AI implementation, governance, and security challenges.
