Best AI Think Tank

Best AI Think Tank

This award recognizes the organization that has most consistently and credibly shaped how Africa thinks about artificial intelligence — its implications, its risks, its governance, and its possibilities. Think tanks occupy a unique space: they are not building products, writing code, or running startups. They are doing something equally important — generating the ideas, evidence, and arguments that inform the decisions of those who are. The winning think tank will have published influential work, engaged policymakers and practitioners, contributed to public discourse, and demonstrated independence of thought in a space where intellectual courage matters.
