Reimagining AI as a Human Endeavor: A Call for Papers on the Human Aspects of AI and LLMs in Africa

University of Lagos University Road, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria

This panel critically examines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) not as autonomous, objective technologies, but as deeply human products shaped by labour, social conditions, and cultural contexts. The perception of AI as autonomous often obscures embedded human choices, values, and biases, deflecting accountability from creators and socio-economic structures. Meanwhile, discourses on "algorithms" can stem from terminological anxiety about the roles these systems occupy in society. The speakers moves beyond the "algorithmic drama" of AI as an obscure, inhuman power, instead illuminating its complex socio-technical underpinnings.
