Werina Griffiths and Nontando Tusi at Adams & Adams discuss the implications of the adoption of AI in Africa and globally

In a podcast sponsored by Adams & Adams, we focus on the reality, regulation and risks of artificial intelligence in Africa and around the world.



Partner Werina Griffiths and associate Nontando Tusi at Adams & Adams in South Africa joined Managing IP senior reporter Rani Mehta to discuss:

  • How has AI been used in various African countries?

  • Have there been any steps taken to regulate the use of AI in these countries?

  • How have different jurisdictions addressed the issue of whether content generated by AI models qualifies for copyright protection?
