At the Global Center on AI Governance, we provide a range of services that advance ethical, inclusive, and rights-based AI development. From cutting-edge research and policy advisory to capacity building and global partnerships, our work helps shape responsible AI governance across Africa and the Global Majority.
Research and Evidence
We are leading research with a beating heart
We conduct cutting-edge research on the social impacts of AI and the governance systems needed to ensure fairness, accountability, and equity. Grounded in local realities and led by a diverse team of experts, our work informs responsible AI policy across Africa and the Global Majority.
Policy Advisory and Development
We are forging more just and equitable global AI policies
Effective AI governance starts with context-aware policy. GCG provides expert advisory services to governments, multilateral institutions, and civil society, helping shape national, regional, and global AI strategies rooted in human rights, equity, and inclusion. Our team brings regional expertise and local knowledge to every engagement, ensuring policy solutions reflect the realities of the Global Majority.
Partnerships, Networks and Collaborations
We are rallying a global collective of change-makers
Collaboration is central to advancing responsible AI. We work with global institutions, regional leaders, and grassroots networks to co-create policy, research, and training initiatives that reflect diverse perspectives. From the African Union and IDRC to Meta and the Gates Foundation, our partnerships drive impact across regions and help shape inclusive AI governance at scale.
Capacity Strengthening

Building skills for responsible AI is at the heart of our work. Through partnerships with institutions like the University of Cape Town and University of Pretoria, we deliver Africa-centred courses on AI ethics, policy, and human rights. Beyond the classroom, we’ve trained researchers in over 150 countries to generate data, inform policy, and lead evidence-based advocacy for inclusive AI governance.
