Ukwethulwa ngokusemthethweni kwephrojekthi ye-IDRC kanye ne-ISC yokuhlola umthelela we-AI ezinhlelweni zesayensi eGlobal South

Paris, France

I-International Science Council iyakujabulela ukumemezela ukwethulwa ngokusemthethweni kwe- iphrojekthi eyisisekelo ngokubambisana ne-International Development Research Centre (IDRC) yaseCanada. Isekelwa uxhaso oluvulekile lwamadola ase-Canada angaphezu kwesigidi, lolu hlelo luhlose ukuhlola imithelela yenguquko yobuhlakani bokwenziwa (AI) nobunye ubuchwepheshe obusafufusa ezinhlelweni zesayensi ku-Global South.

Ukuthuthuka okusheshayo kwezobuchwepheshe ku-AI kubumba kabusha umkhuba nokuhleleka kwesayensi emhlabeni wonke, okunomthelela omkhulu wokungalingani komhlaba. Lolu xhaso olukhulu oluvela ku-IDRC luzokwenza i-ISC's Center for Science Futures ukuthi ihlole lezi zinkinga, ithuthukise amandla abadlali besayensi, ubuchwepheshe, kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha (STI) eGlobal South ukuze bazulazule futhi basebenzise lezi zinguquko ekukhuleni nasekuthuthukisweni kwesikhathi esizayo.

Eminyakeni emithathu ezayo, iphrojekthi izoqoqa ulwazi lokuqala mayelana nezinguquko eziqhutshwa i-AI nobunye ubuchwepheshe, futhi isebenzisane eduze nezinhlangano zesayensi ezibalulekile eNingizimu Yomhlaba. Umgomo uwukuthuthukisa ukubonakala kwazo, ukukhuthaza imifelandawonye eqinile, nokuqinisekisa ukuthi zimi kahle ukuze zizuze entuthukweni yezobuchwepheshe.

Le phrojekthi izohlanganisa imizamo eminingana ebalulekile, okuhlanganisa:

1. I-AI Yesayensi: Umgomo wale phrojekthi ukuqonda ukuthi i-AI iziguqula kanjani izinhlelo ze-STI, ikakhulukazi e-Global South, nokuthi amazwe angalisebenzisa kanjani leli thuba. Izokwakha ephepheni lokuqala lokusebenza "Ukulungiselela i-National Research Ecosystems ye-AI: Amasu nenqubekelaphambili ngo-2024”, ukunwetshwa ukuze kufakwe ezinye izifundo zezwe, kanye nokubonisana nezinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi nochwepheshe nezinhlangano emhlabeni wonke, ukuvala izikhala zolwazi mayelana nendlela amazwe ahlukene ayihlanganisa ngayo i-AI ohlelweni lwawo lwemvelo locwaningo.
2. Emerging Technologies and Transformations: Le phrojekthi izobiza ochwepheshe abavela emhlabeni wonke ukuze bacabange ngegagasi elilandelayo lezinguquko ezibalulekile zezinhlelo zocansi ezithelelana ngokocansi emhlabeni wonke, kanye nomthelela wazo kuGlobal South.
3. Uhambo Lwedijithali: Le phrojekthi ihlose ukuqoqa ulwazi nolwazi mayelana nokwesekwa okusebenzayo nokunomthelela kwabalingisi be-Global South STI ekulandeleni izinguquko zedijithali ngosizo lwamasu nobuchwepheshe ezinhlanganweni ezikhethiwe. Iphepha lezingxoxo le-ISC “Izinhlangano ezikuNkathi Yedijithali” usebenza njengomshayeli wokuhlola lo msebenzi.
4. Ukufanisa i-STI-Industry: Lesi sinyathelo sigxile ekwakheni imiphakathi esebenza ngokuzikhandla phakathi kokuhlola abadlali besayensi ye-Global South nokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha, ngochungechunge lwemicimbi yokufanisa ehlanganisa izinhlangano ze-STI nezimboni nonjiniyela bezobuchwepheshe.

Matthew Wallace, Uchwepheshe Omkhulu Wohlelo e-IDRC, ubeke amazwana:

“I-IDRC iyakuthokozela ukuqalisa lobu budlelwano ne-ISC kanye neCentre for Science Futures. Umgomo wethu ubulokhu uwukusekela ucwaningo nokusungula izinto ezintsha ezibhekana nezinselele ezibalulekile ezibhekene nezifunda ezisathuthuka. Lesi sinyathelo siwubufakazi bokuzibophezela kwethu ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi izikhungo zesayensi e-Global South zingasebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha ukuze kwakhiwe izinhlelo zesayensi eziqinile neziqinile.”

David Castle, USihlalo Wephrojekthi uthe:

“Lo msebenzi umele igxathu elibalulekile eliya phambili emizamweni yethu yokweseka izinhlangano zeGlobal South STI. Ngokusebenzisana ngqo naMalungu ethu nezinhlangano zesayensi, singakwazi ukwakha amasu namathuluzi kokubili anomthelela futhi asimeme. Sibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana nokuqonda okuzovela kulolu hlelo. "

UVanessa McBride, Umqondisi Wesayensi Ye-ISC kanye Nomqondisi Obambile Wesikhungo SeSayensi Futures, wanezela:

“Njengoba sithuthukisa isu elilandelayo le-ISC, ukuqonda imithelela ye-AI nobunye ubuchwepheshe obusha kubaluleke kakhulu. Lo mnikelo ovela ku-IDRC usivumela ukuthi singene kule mibuzo ebucayi futhi sinikeze ukwesekwa okunengqondo emphakathini wesayensi womhlaba wonke ngokuletha amazwi angameleli kahle enkulumweni.”

Inhloko ephumayo ye-Centre for Science Futures, uMathieu Denis, ubenesifiso sokuthi ithangi le-ISC lakhe iphrojekthi ne-IDRC ekhuthaza i-AI yokuthuthukisa isayensi emhlabeni wonke kanye nokuqonda imigwaqo yamanje neyesikhathi esizayo ukuze kuthathwe i-AI kuzwelonke. ucwaningo lwe-ecosystem.

Mayelana neCanada Isikhungo Sokucwaninga Kwentuthuko Yezizwe

Isungulwe ku-1970, the I-IDRCIgunya liwukuqala, ukukhuthaza, ukweseka, kanye nokwenza ucwaningo ngezinkinga zezifunda zomhlaba ezisathuthuka kanye nezindlela zokusebenzisa nokulungisa ulwazi lwesayensi, lobuchwepheshe, nolunye ukuze luthuthuke ezomnotho nezenhlalo zalezo zifunda. Ompetha be-IDRC futhi baxhasa ngezimali ucwaningo nokusungula izinto njengengxenye yezindaba zangaphandle kanye nemizamo yentuthuko yaseCanada.

Mayelana Nesikhungo Sesayensi Yekusasa le-ISC:

Abakwa-ISC Isikhungo Sekusasa Lesayensi ihlose ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda kwethu izitayela ezivelayo kusayensi nezinhlelo zocwaningo, inikeze izinketho namathuluzi esenzo esifanele. Ngalolu hlelo, i-ISC iyaqhubeka nokweseka nokuthuthukisa umphakathi wesayensi womhlaba wonke, ikakhulukazi ezifundeni ezingamelelwe kahle.
