South Africa’s National AI Policy Framework outlines the country’s strategic approach to harnessing artificial intelligence for inclusive economic growth, social development, and ethical innovation. Developed by the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies, the framework emphasises responsible AI adoption, data governance, digital infrastructure, and capacity-building to position South Africa as a competitive player in the global AI landscape. It also addresses the need for regulatory alignment, ethical standards, and public-private collaboration to mitigate risks while maximising benefits across sectors.
