About

African Context, Global Relevance

AIxBio Africa exists to strengthen African participation in the research, skills, and institutions shaping how artificial intelligence and biological risks are understood and governed.

Our work connects capacity-building with substantive research. We help people enter the field, develop practical judgement, work with experienced researchers and practitioners, and contribute evidence grounded in African contexts.

Our Approach

From curiosity to contribution

We are building a connected pathway rather than isolated activities: accessible learning, expert engagement, mentored research, and opportunities to produce and share meaningful work.

The aim is not simply to create awareness, but to help more African students, researchers, and practitioners become active contributors to AI safety and biosecurity.

What We Do

Four connected pillars

Research, fellowships, courses, and webinars reinforce one another to create a stronger pathway into the field and a growing base of Africa-relevant knowledge.

01

Research

We support and produce Africa-relevant work on AI safety, biosecurity, health systems, governance, evaluation, and emerging technological risks.

02

Fellowships

Our research fellowships give early-career researchers structured mentorship and a pathway to develop substantial independent research outputs.

03

Courses

Our courses build foundational understanding and practical judgement around AI, biology, and biosecurity through structured, Africa-focused learning.

04

Webinars

Expert-led sessions connect our community with researchers and practitioners working across AI safety, biosecurity, public health, and governance.
