A continental commitment

No Parachute AI

AI in Africa rejects extractive research, shallow partnerships, and projects that treat African people only as data sources, testers, translators, annotators, or consumers.

The Pledge

  • We'll include African researchers as equal partners.
  • We'll respect community data ownership.
  • We'll share findings and tools openly when possible.
  • We won't lock African knowledge behind inaccessible paywalls.
  • We'll build long-term relationships, not one-time extraction.
  • We'll compensate contributors fairly.
  • We'll center dignity, equity, and community benefit.
  • We'll avoid extractive AI partnerships.
  • We'll credit African knowledge and labor properly.
