3.0 Key Definition and Methodology
3.1 Key Definition 3.1.1 AI Stakeholders
AI Stakeholder refers to an individual, group of people, or company that has invested in AI, either in the form of direct support for research and development or a vested interest in the success of the AI, or who is affected by or has an interest in AI and its social impact initiative (Dwi Hadya Jayani 2019; Gwagwa, Kachidza, et al. 2021). They may include users, community members, partners, funders, investors, civil society organization, policymakers, regulators, researchers, and others (Sinde et al. 2023). The stakeholders will be categorized into four categories which include firms, academia, civil society, and government. Additionally, these stakeholders are in different stages for AI ethical policy adoption and implementation, such as the initial stage, intermediate stage, and final stage, as briefly described in Figure 1. This study has considered stakeholders in all three stages to understand the status of AI ethical policy at a country level and at the African continent level.
