The Global South AI Safety Report is the Global South Network for Trustworthy AI’s contribution to that change. The report will serve as a living, rigorous reference point on AI safety in the Global South: examining how AI systems are being built, deployed, used, and maintained across different contexts, and identifying the safety concerns, governance gaps, and structural risks that emerge at each stage. Moving away from abstract risk taxonomies, the report seeks to illustrate how AI safety risks are actually emerging in practice across the Global South, through real-world deployment pathways, institutional arrangements, infrastructural dependencies, and everyday experiences of AI systems.
