Promoting access, equity, and justice in global and international science and technology policies
STPP is dedicated to finding solutions to increasing global wealth and income inequality. One is "inclusive innovation," which aims to explicitly incorporate the world's marginalized communities into the innovation system as consumers, laborers, and even innovators. What if we were to imagine innovation processes that are open and technology is developed in collaboration with communities, so that they are actively working for the public good?
African debates about machine learning (ML) and development raise important questions regarding global inequalities. How can Africans simultaneously engage with techno scientific innovation while challenging its underlying assumptions? How can they do that in ways that counter universalist approaches and mono-visions of ML and development that have limited understandings of social progress and economic prosperity? How can Africans fashion their own alternative futures based on different epistemological understandings of the world?
