Le nombre d’utilisateurs d’Internet au Cameroun croît d’année en année, avec 40 à 45% de la population ayant eu accès à Internet en 2023. Face à cette montée de l’utilisation d’Internet, des comportements malicieux font leur lit, y compris les arnaques financières, les violences en ligne, notamment contre les personnes vulnérables, femmes et enfants, la diffusion de fausses informations (ou fake news), fléaux d’autant plus difficiles à combattre que l’emploi des technologies d’Intelligence Artificielle (ou IA) renforce la qualité ou la sophistication des mauvaises actions, mais les multiplie en en facilitant la possibilité. L’enjeu de la maîtrise des comportements sur Internet est primordial pour les gouvernements également, afin de préserver la paix sociale. L’objectif de ce webinaire est de discuter les contours des comportements sur Internet des acteurs civiles, entreprises, et gouvernements camerounais et d’en analyser l’impact.

The number of Cameroon internet users is growing year after year, with 40 to 45% of the population having accessed the internet in 2023. Faced with this surge in internet use, malicious behaviors are becoming increasingly prevalent, including financial scams, online violence, particularly against vulnerable individuals, women, and children, and the spread of misinformation (or fake news). These scourges are all the more difficult to combat because the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies enhances the quality and sophistication of malicious acts, while also multiplying them by making them easier to perpetrate. Controlling online behavior is also crucial for governments in order to maintain social peace. The objective of this webinar is to discuss the nature of online behavior among Cameroonian civil society actors, businesses, and government entities, and to analyze its impact.
