Finney Israel

I am a passionate researcher and consultant specializing in AI governance, with a strong interdisciplinary academic background from the Erasmus Mundus European Master in African Studies (EIMAS). My work centers on integrating African philosophies and ethical frameworks into global AI policy to ensure inclusive, just, and culturally relevant AI futures. Motivated by the urgent need to empower African leadership in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, I am dedicated to bridging knowledge gaps and fostering multi-stakeholder collaborations across academia, policy, and civil society. I believe in leveraging local wisdom and global expertise to shape AI governance that reflects Africa’s unique contexts and values.
