Comment by Government of South Africa

Human avatar
National government of South Africa, speaking through its delegation at the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance in July 2026.
The national AI policy focuses on the creation of explainable AI systems that deliver clear, interpretable outputs. This is important for trust and acceptance by users, especially in high-risk applications such as credit scoring. By making decisions by AI systems comprehensible and contestable, trust and accountability are improved, and developers are made accountable for their results.
