South Africa has published a draft AI policy that aligns with global best practices. The policy positions the country within global and African frameworks, aiming for a balance between oversight and compliance. It references the emerging global standard for AI management, ISO 42001, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Workday, a global workforce software company, hosted a conference in Dublin that addressed AI regulation challenges. Workday's AI management system is certified to ISO 42001 and aligned with the NIST framework. The company's chief corporate affairs officer endorsed South Africa's approach, stating that smart governmental safeguards can build trust and support innovation. Workday has engaged with EU policymakers in developing the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and believes that a regulatory envelope is necessary to protect data and rights. The company's approach is to proactively lean into regulations that are headed in the right direction while moderating proposals that may not be effective.
