Prof. Mutambara, Director and Full Professor at the University of Johannesburg’s Institute for the Future of Knowledge has challenged African scholars to move beyond being consumers of AI technologies and become active contributors to their development.

He made this remarks at the 'Mentoring Webinar Series' organised by the African Humanities Association (AHA) as part of the AHA-EHURA project.

He underscored AI's growing influence on knowledge production, innovation and global competitiveness, while encouraging humanities scholars to engage critically with emerging technologies and participate actively in shaping Africa's digital future.
