AI 中文摘要
人工智能系统的快速发展加剧了关于人类经济、政治、社会和生存未来的辩论。随着人工智能重塑人们对未来的期望，政策选择和制度回应在决定谁受益、谁承担成本以及能否减轻最严重风险方面将发挥关键作用。在这些讨论中，非洲相对被忽视，部分原因是它主要是前沿人工智能系统的消费者而非生产者，且该大陆许多国家仍面临紧迫发展挑战。鉴于追赶的紧迫性，非洲各国政府渴望将人工智能作为加速经济转型的手段。本文通过演讲、新闻稿、公开声明和国家人工智能战略/框架指出，非洲政府虽高度关注人工智能机遇，但对人工智能安全关注较少。
英文摘要
The rapid improvement of AI systems has intensified debate about humanity's economic, political, social, and existential future. As AI reshapes expectations about what lies ahead, policy choices and institutional responses will play a crucial role in determining who benefits, who bears the costs, and whether the most serious risks can be mitigated. Africa remains relatively overlooked in these discussions, partly because it is largely a consumer rather than a producer of frontier AI systems, and also because many countries on the continent continue to face pressing development challenges. Given the catch-up imperative, governments across Africa are eager to embrace AI as a means for accelerating economic transformation. Drawing on speeches, press releases, public statements, and national AI strategies/frameworks, this essay argues that while African governments are highly attentive to AI's opportunities, they devote comparatively little attention to AI safety.
