summary

In attempting to envision Artificial intelligence (AI) systems that are emancipatory and liberatory to all peoples, this background paper follows the afro-feminist approach in its inquiry and the resultant propositions it puts forward. The idea of Afro-feminism was advanced by Ugandan scholar Dr Sylvia Tamale in her book Decolonization and Afro-feminism. Fundamentally, afro-feminism distinctly seeks to create its own theories that are linked to the diversity of the realities of African women as a way of challenging all forms of domination they encounter particularly as they relate to patriarchy, race, sexuality and global imperialism.
