Abstract

The chapter seeks to show how algorithmically-assisted decision-making presents an opportunity for African public administrations to take a âtechnological leapâ in the 4th Industrial Revolution and to secure better delivery of services to citizens in areas as diverse as security, immigration, law enforcement and welfare reform. The chapter starts by analyzing adopted and proposed governance models of artifical intelligence (AI) adopted in countries and bodies as diverse as the African Union, the European Union, and the United States, in order to delineate some of the key challenges raised by AI-inspired algorithmically assisted decision-making in the public service. It then focuses on the African Unionâs institutional response to new technology as Africaâs response to a challenging yet promising new opportunity to leverage AI for its continental competitiveness in a post-pandemic recovery. In this context, special attention is paid to South Africaâs Bill of Rights and its entrenched access to information and access to administrative justice rights probing how the countryâs constitutional framework might respond to the 4th Industrial Revolution. The chapterâs conclusions probe the need to secure transparency in public decision-making to ensure properly perceived legitimacy of policies and law as well as accountable, transparent governance as a design tool for computer scientists.
