This book presents contextualised and detailed research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Global South. It examines the key challenges of these emerging and least industrialised countries while proffering holistic and comprehensive solutions. The book then explains how AI, as part of these broad interventions, can drive Global South economies to achieve inclusive development and shared prosperity.

It presents novel national, regional, and continental AI adoption, development, and implementation frameworks.

- How to prepare emerging economies to unlock the benefits of AI while mitigating the risks
