AI FOR THE PEOPLE: AN UBUNTU APPROACH TO TRANSFORMING HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ECONOMIC LANDSCAPES

"AI for the People: An Ubuntu Approach to Transforming Health, Education, and Economic Landscapes" is a conference dedicated to exploring how the principles of Ubuntu – a philosophy rooted in African wisdom emphasizing community, connection, and mutual caring for all – can guide the development and application of AI. The event aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technological advancements and the age-old wisdom of Ubuntu, focusing on creating AI solutions that are inclusive, equitable, and beneficial for everyone, especially in vital areas such as health, education, and economics. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, including technologists, policymakers, educators, healthcare professionals, and social scientists, this conference seeks to cultivate a holistic and human-centred approach to AI, driving positive change and fostering a future where technology truly serves humanity. The event, set against the stunning backdrop of Kruger National Park in South Africa from September 26th to 28th, 2024, and co-hosted by The Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute (DBDLI) in Canada, along with the University of Venda and the University of Pretoria in South Africa, promises to be a groundbreaking gathering.
