Stellenbosch University, in collaboration with the German government, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Presidency, has set up the South African Policy Innovation Lab to explore the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in governance. The lab aims to improve business processes and enhance the work done by human workers.

Stellenbosch University, the German government, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Presidency have established the South African Policy Innovation Lab. The university has invited academic staff to work with Prof. Willem Fourie in pursuit of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 17. The developments and improvements in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning have started to become more useful than fun chatbots over the last few months.

In a bid to explore this further, Stellenbosch University, the German government, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Presidency have established the South African Policy Innovation Lab at the university’s School for Data Science and Computational Thinking
