In this third episode of the humanitarian AI podcast series, legal and policy expert Timi Olagunju unpacks the “governance vacuum” facing humanitarian organisations: while AI tools are widely used, only a fraction of organisations have formal policies in place. Timi explains why AI literacy is the cornerstone of governance and shares practical ways to move from ad-hoc AI use to structured frameworks. This includes investing in principles of responsible AI deployment: do no harm, data dignity, and accountability—while navigating diverse regulatory environments across Africa and beyond.
