AI in business: Experts in Abidjan call for rules governing its use

At the 14th Ethics Days, held on October 27, 2026, at Orange Village in Abidjan, specialists called for rules governing the use of artificial intelligence in businesses. Stéphane Kounandi Coulibaly of the Ministry of Digital Transition and Technological Innovation said the ministry is drafting legislation to complement existing personal-data protections. Governance expert Christophe Boa stressed that users remain responsible for the information they submit to AI tools and for how they use the results. At Orange Côte d’Ivoire, confidentiality concerns have led to the development of an internal AI solution.
