I’ve always believed that music should be more than something we hear. It should create worlds, tell stories and bring people together 🌍

When AI can act on its own, who is accountable?
ATLAS 2.0 is the practical, skills-first symposium where Africa’s lawyers, regulators, technologists, creators and entrepreneurs come together to answer that question, before the answers are imposed from elsewhere.
Agentic AI doesn’t just generate content. It can search, negotiate, file reports, trigger transactions and manage workflows with limited human intervention. For Africa, this is a chance to build productivity, strengthen public institutions and grow emerging sectors. But the benefit only materialises if it’s matched by legal frameworks that build trust, protect rights and enable innovation.
ATLAS is ALN Academy’s flagship symposium on the future of law, technology, and AI in Africa.
ATLAS 2.0 makes the legal aspects of agentic AI practical and accessible to non-specialists, anchored in three sectors already driving Africa’s next phase of growth:
☁️ Cloud Economy—The infrastructure layer. Data residency, cybersecurity, vendor lock-in and procurement.
🎨 Creative Economy — The ownership layer. Who owns AI-generated content, and how creators protect voice, style and royalties.
♻️ Circular Economy — The accountability layer. Trusted data, credible green claims, and inclusion of informal waste actors.
You’ll leave able to:
- Explain what agentic AI is and why it matters
- Identify the key legal questions it raises
- Apply practical checklists on accountability, data use, IP, cloud procurement and human oversight
More details on the guided tour coming soon!

The Crowd Has Spoken
Real experiences and opinions from people who’ve attended events around Nairobi.
Great energy and narrative. A big shout out to the organisers. However, the play was about Waiyaki Wa Hinga and it would have been nice to acknowledge any family members present at each of the events. I am a third generation descendant who had travelled from abroad, in part to come see the show_Tiras Waiyaki Wa Nūnga
KEThere were less seats for the regular yawa. Imagine i had to pay 400 bob to a security person ndio nipewe kiti. So unfair. Its like regular people are unplanned for. Event was good though
