ATLAS 2.0: Agentic Africa | ALN Academy

​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
