Summary

Continental-level non-binding strategy for 55 AU member states. Frames AI through development-rights / digital-sovereignty / capacity-building lens. Explicitly references unequal compute access + dataset coloniality as governance concerns absent from OECD-bloc instruments. Operationalisation via national strategies (e.g., Egypt 2030, Kenya AI Roadmap, South Africa NAIPF).
