The Responsible AI Forum (TRAIF) brings together members of industry, civil society, government and academia to discuss the most relevant and pressing issues related to the responsible use of AI through shared stories, cutting edge research and practical applications.

The Responsible AI Network – Africa (RAIN-Africa) travel scholarship provides support for up to three AI academics and researchers to attend the 3-day event in Munich, Germany. One scholarship will be specifically reserved for a researcher or academic from Ghana. The application is therefore aimed at Africa AI stakeholders wishing to inform our global network about their research and practice through productive discussion, exchange, and demonstration.
