The session features brief presentations from early career researchers exploring critical, context-specific insights into AI. Sumaya (University of Oxford) examines questions of governance, addressing how AI regulatory frameworks intersect with geopolitical dynamics in Africa. Suvradip (University of Cambridge) delves into the impact of state use of biometric surveillance on marginalised and culturally diverse populations.
