Eswatini has launched an AI Safety and Standards Centre of Excellence, in a move aimed at strengthening Africa's ability to assess, test and govern artificial intelligence.

The initiative, led by the Eswatini Standards Authority in partnership with the Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence Africa (AICE Africa), will focus on developing local expertise and standards, with plans to establish an AI safety research and testing laboratory.

It comes amid growing concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence, including bias, data protection and the reliability of systems increasingly used in everyday life.

To discuss what this means for Eswatini and the wider African continent, we spoke to John Kamara, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AICE Africa.
