TrendsNAfrica reports that Namibia is advancing draft legislation and a national strategy aimed at regulating artificial intelligence. The initiative seeks to establish legal and ethical frameworks to guide the responsible development, deployment, and use of AI technologies within the country.

The draft laws focus on balancing technological innovation with safeguarding citizens’ rights, addressing issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and accountability. The national strategy emphasizes cross-sector collaboration and capacity-building to support AI governance.

This move positions Namibia among African countries taking proactive steps to prepare legal systems for AI challenges while promoting sustainable economic growth and social equity through regulation.
