TALO Africa Releases Landmark White Paper

TALO Africa has released a groundbreaking white paper redefining how artificial intelligence should be governed, valued, and institutionalised across African enterprises and public institutions.

The paper, AI as Governed Capital: AI Accounting, Sovereignty, and the Discipline of Governance by Design, sets out a novel foundation for treating AI not as a technology expense, but as an institutional asset. One requiring ownership, stewardship, and long-term accountability.

As AI becomes part of everyday business decisions, the real challenge is no longer adoption, but control and trust. Strong governance ensures AI can be monitored, owned, and held accountable, enabling organisations to use it confidently and generate lasting business value.

The research is designed to be far-reaching. “This work is about helping African institutions own their AI future, not only in capability, but in governance, accountability, and value creation,” said Suban Nur Gaas, Founder and Managing Director of TALO Africa.

The white paper provides boards, executives, and policymakers with actionable models for AI governance maturity, institutional readiness, and capital accounting, designed specifically for African operating environments.
