Summary
At the Global AI Summit on Africa in Kigali, Rwanda on 3–4 April 2025, Comoros was among the 54 African states that endorsed the Africa Declaration on Artificial Intelligence. The declaration commits signatory governments to AI governance, ethical and inclusive AI adoption, and participation in the proposed Africa AI Council.
Key details
A representative from Comoros — Hon. Hamdan Bakar — has spoken at the Pan-African Parliament on AI, digital equity, and data sovereignty, calling for equal AI access and connectivity for rural areas and warning that the digital divide threatens to exclude under-resourced populations from the AI transition. Comoros has no dedicated national AI law as of this date; data protection regulation is referenced as a foundational step toward AI governance within the AU framework.
The Africa Declaration does not create binding national obligations but positions AU member states toward developing national AI strategies aligned with continental objectives.
Scoring relevance
Dimension 10 — No named national AI governance body exists in Comoros. The Africa Declaration is a political commitment at continental level. Score: 0.
