Min Nzimande, reflects on how technology through AI can benefit humanity. At the @HSRCza conference the Min said if an ethical AI future for all humanity was to be promoted, an ethical framework must speak to conditions of social inequality, neo-colonialism and imperialist wars.
In his keynote at #HSRCConference2026, Minister @dstigovza @DrBladeNzimande spoke on digital inclusion and the fight against new forms of colonialism in Africa — warning against epistemic injustice and calling for an ethical framework to guide the continent's digital future.
The Minister of @dstigovza Prof Blade Nzimande is warmly welcomed by team HSRC ahead of his keynote address today at #HSRCConference2026. An honour to have him here!
