Ukuphehlelelwa ngokusesikweni kweprojekthi ye-IDRC kunye ne-ISC yokuphonononga impembelelo ye-AI kwiinkqubo zenzululwazi kuMzantsi weHlabathi

EParis, eFransi

IBhunga lezeNzululwazi laMazwe ngaMazwe linochulumanco ukwazisa ngokuphehlelelwa ngokusesikweni kwe iprojekthi emangalisayo ngentsebenziswano neZiko loPhando loPhuhliso lwaMazwe ngaMazwe (IDRC) laseKhanada. Ixhaswa sisibonelelo sesisa esingaphezulu kwesigidi seedola zaseKhanada, eli nyathelo lijolise ekuphononongeni iimpembelelo zenguqu kubukrelekrele bokwenziwa (AI) kunye nobunye ubugcisa obuvelayo kwiinkqubo zenzululwazi kuMzantsi weGlobal.

Inkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji ekhawulezileyo kwi-AI ilungisa ngokutsha inkqubo kunye nombutho wesayensi kwihlabathi liphela, kunye neempembelelo ezibalulekileyo kukungalingani kwehlabathi. Esi sibonelelo sikhulu sivela kwi-IDRC siza kwenza iZiko le-ISC lamaFutures eNzululwazi ukuba liphonononge le miba, liphucule amandla enzululwazi, ubuchwephesha, kunye nokuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha (i-STI) kuMazantsi eHlabathi ukuzulazula kunye nokusebenzisana nolu tshintsho kuhlumo nophuhliso lwexesha elizayo.

Kule minyaka mithathu izayo, le projekthi iza kuqokelela ulwazi lokuqala malunga neenguqu eziqhutywa yi-AI kunye nobunye ubugcisa, kwaye isebenze ngokusondeleyo nemibutho yesayensi ephambili kwiGlobal South. Injongo kukuphucula ukubonakala kwabo, ukukhuthaza imifelandawonye eyomeleleyo, kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba bakwindawo entle ukuze baxhamle kwinkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji.

Iprojekthi iya kubandakanya amanyathelo aphambili amaninzi, aquka:

1. I-AI yeSayensi: Injongo yale projekthi kukuqonda ukuba i-AI iziguqula njani iinkqubo ze-STI, ngakumbi kwi-Global South, kunye nendlela amazwe anokusebenzisa ngayo olu tshintsho. Iya kwakha kwiphepha lokuqala lokusebenza "Ukulungiselela i-National Research Ecosystems kwi-AI: Amaqhinga kunye nenkqubela phambili ngo-2024", Ukwandisa ukubandakanya izifundo ezininzi zelizwe, kunye nokubonisana kunye neendibano zocweyo kunye neengcali kunye nemibutho yehlabathi jikelele, ukuvala izikhewu zolwazi malunga nendlela amazwe ahlukeneyo adibanisa ngayo i-AI kwi-ecosystems yophando.
2. Ubuchwephesha obusakhulayo kunye noTshintsho: Le projekthi iza kubiza iingcali ezisuka kwihlabathi liphela ukuze zibonise utshintsho olubalulekileyo lweenkqubo ze-STI kwihlabathi jikelele, kunye nefuthe lazo kuMzantsi weHlabathi.
3. Uhambo lweDijithali: Le projekthi ijolise ekuqokeleleni ulwazi kunye namava malunga nenkxaso esebenzayo kunye nefuthe kubadlali beGlobal South STI ekulandeleni iinguqu zedijithali ngoncedo lobuchule kunye nobugcisa kwimibutho ekhethiweyo. Iphepha lengxoxo le-ISC “Imibutho kwi-Digital Age” ukhonza njengomalinge wokwenza lo msebenzi.
4. I-STI-Industry Matchmaking: Eli nyathelo ligxile ekwakhiweni kweendlela zokuziphatha phakathi kovavanyo lwabadlali besayensi yeGlobal South kunye nokusebenzisa ubugcisa obutsha, ngothotho lwemisitho edibanisa imibutho ye-STI kunye noshishino kunye nabaphuhlisi bobugcisa.

UMateyu Wallace, iNgcali yeNkqubo ePhezulu e-IDRC, ihlomle:

“I-IDRC iyachulumancisa ukuqalisa kobu buhlakani ne-ISC kunye neZiko leSayensi leFutures. Injongo yethu ibisoloko ikukuxhasa uphando kunye nezinto ezintsha ezijongana nemingeni ebalulekileyo ejongene nemimandla ephuhlayo. Eli nyathelo libubungqina bokuzibophelela kwethu ekuqinisekiseni ukuba amaziko enzululwazi kuMzantsi wehlabathi angasebenzisa ubugcisa obutsha ukuze akhe iinkqubo zesayensi ezomeleleyo, ezomelela ngakumbi.”

David Castle, uSihlalo weProjekthi uthe:

“Le projekthi ibonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo eliya phambili kwiinzame zethu zokuxhasa imibutho yeGlobal South STI. Ngokusebenza ngokuthe ngqo kunye namaLungu ethu kunye nemibutho yesayensi, sinokwenza ngokubambisana izicwangciso kunye nezixhobo ezinempembelelo kunye nezizinzileyo. Sijonge phambili kwintsebenziswano kunye nokuqonda okuza kuvela kweli nyathelo. ”

UVanessa McBride, UMlawuli weNzululwazi ye-ISC kunye neZiko leSayensi yeFutures uMlawuli oBambeleyo, wongezelela:

“Njengoko siphuhlisa isicwangciso sobuchule esilandelayo se-ISC, ukuqonda iimpembelelo ze-AI kunye nobunye ubugcisa obutsha kubaluleke kakhulu. Eli galelo lesisa livela kwi-IDRC lisivumela ukuba siphengulule kule mibuzo ibalulekileyo kwaye sinikele ngenkxaso enentsingiselo kuluntu lwenzululwazi yehlabathi ngokuzisa amazwi angamelwanga kwingxoxo. ”

Intloko ephumayo yeZiko lamaFutures eSayensi, uMathieu Denis, wayenomdla kwitanki yokucinga ye-ISC yokwakha iprojekthi kunye ne-IDRC ekhuthaza i-AI yokuphucula isayensi kwihlabathi jikelele kunye nokuqonda iimephu zendlela zangoku nezexesha elizayo zokuthathwa kwe-AI kuzwelonke. uphando ngemixokelelwano yendalo.

Malunga neCanada ICandelo loPhando loPhuhliso loLuntu

Ukumiselwa kwi-1970, i IDRCUmyalelo kukuqala, ukukhuthaza, ukuxhasa, kunye nokwenza uphando kwiingxaki zemimandla ephuhlayo yehlabathi kunye neendlela zokusebenzisa kunye nokulungelelanisa ulwazi lwezenzululwazi, ubugcisa, kunye nolunye ulwazi kuphuhliso loqoqosho nentlalo yaloo mimandla. Iintshatsheli ze-IDRC kwaye zixhasa ngemali uphando kunye nokuveliswa kwezinto njengenxalenye yemicimbi yangaphandle yaseKhanada kunye neenzame zophuhliso.

Malunga neZiko le-ISC leKamva leNzululwazi:

Ii-ISC's Iziko lekamva leNzululwazi ijolise ekuphuculeni ukuqonda kwethu iintsingiselo ezivelayo kwiinkqubo zenzululwazi kunye nophando, ukubonelela ngeendlela kunye nezixhobo zokwenza izinto ezifanelekileyo. Ngeli nyathelo, i-ISC iyaqhubeka nokuxhasa kunye nokuqhubela phambili uluntu lwezenzululwazi kwihlabathi, ngakumbi kwimimandla engamelwanga ngokwaneleyo.
