Python powers much of today’s AI, from recommendation engines to facial recognition systems. But as AI tools become more widespread, especially in areas they weren’t originally designed for, serious ethical and cultural questions start to surface. This talk looks at the responsibilities of Python developers when building AI systems, with a focus on fairness, privacy, cultural bias, and representation.

We’ll highlight practical ways developers can be more socially responsible with Python, especially when building for or deploying in African contexts. Whether you're a student learning AI, a developer working with open-source models, or an educator teaching machine learning, this session will leave you with clear, real-world questions to ask and answer in your work.
