Humanitarian AI podcast series | Addressing governance gaps: perspectives from Nigeria and beyond
Manage episode 510037873 series 3463494
How can humanitarians engage responsibly with AI tools without clear governance frameworks?
Only one in five humanitarian organisations have formal AI policies despite widespread usage - creating a "governance vacuum." How can organisations develop robust AI governance when operating across diverse regulatory environments whilst AI regulation is still emerging?
In the third instalment of our six-part humanitarian AI podcast series, Timi Olagunju speaks to Ka Man Parkinson to discuss how humanitarian organisations can close this governance gap.
Timi Olagunju is a lawyer specialising in tech policy and AI governance, working at the intersection of law, technology, and development. He offers insights into the regulatory landscape affecting humanitarian AI adoption across Africa and globally.
In this conversation, Timi examines:
- Why AI literacy is the cornerstone of governance - not an afterthought
- How fragmented regulatory environments in Africa can create 'procurement paralysis'
- Four principles for responsible AI deployment
- Practical guidance on data protection - treating data like cash
- Community questions on AI transparency, data protection challenges, regulatory gaps, and safeguarding strategies
