Abstract

While Senegal and Mali are eager to use AI methods to improve contact tracing efforts, the countries contend with a number of social and political challenges. This research will support epidemiological modelling of COVID-19 in Senegal and Mali while addressing the social and political obstacles in connection with the use of AI technologies and health control measures within a framework of ethics and human rights.
