As we navigate the 21st century technological revolution, I believe that it is critical to ensure mass sensitization and awareness in Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence Ethics - especially on the African continent. In her book, Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes that, “the real tragedy of our post-colonial world is not that the majority of people had no say in whether or not they wanted this new world; rather, it is that the majority have not been given the tools to negotiate this new world.” It is unfortunate that the same words still reverberate in the 21st century as we grapple with a digital divide, illiteracy and lack of awareness in matters of Data Protection and Artificial intelligence Ethics.
Through this website, I will be sharing important information on Data Protection and Artificial Intelligence Ethics with a goal to foster awareness and empowerment of the people on the African Continent. It is my hope that I will add my voice to the remarkable authors, scholars and researchers who continue to enlighten us in the new age.
“ The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. “
