Indatshana echaza ukuswelakala kwamazwi esayensi awesiNdebele okudingakala ukwandisa imicabango exhumanisa ulimi lwethu ezifundweni zesayensi. Lapha ngichaza i-artificial intelligence, ongumqondo ongajwayelekanga ukuchazwa ngolimi lwesiNdebele.

A discussion on transitioning from the humanities at university into the applied world. With co-panellists, Rafe Chisolm and Reon van der Merwe, I narrate the challenges and opportunities that humanities graduates encounter while soul-searching for their desired careers. This panel is a part of the Career Conversations Series, hosted by the UCT Careers Service.

In this episode of the Anthropology in Business podcast, I speak with Matt Artz about my career as a business anthropologist and the value of anthropologists in the tech world. This conversation covers my journey from anthropology to the HighTechXL accelerator on the Eindhoven High Tech Campus where I became interested in AI and innovation.

In this episode of the Global Digital Futures Think Tank, I discuss "AI Ethics & Healthcare in Africa", the challenges and opportunities of developing AI for healthcare on the African continent with Amina Soulimani, Doctoral Fellow at HUMA and Issah Samori, Data Scientist at minoHealth AI Labs. Hosted by Chipo Mapondera, Founder at Global Digital Futures.

In this HUMA panel presentation, I propose an anthropological approach to examine the efficacy of AI usage in healthcare in Zambia, in the context of automated inequality resulting from AI algorithms that serve the Southern African demographic. This panel is part of the Response-ability Summit, May 20-21, 2021.

Leading to the Response-ability Summit 2021, Amina Soulimani and I reflect on integrating the social sciences into innovation. We share the questions currently at the centre of our research, what context means for data mining and machine learning and how we can think of algorithms as main interlocutors of research.

Since independence, pandemics in Zimbabwe have manifested in myriad ways. Beyond epidemiological disease and related deaths, the chronic plagues are metaphorically state corruption, a disintegrating economy, police brutality, unwarranted arrests, abductions, poor education, and an appalling healthcare system.

Exploring visual methodology for anthropology fieldwork when conventional methods otherwise limit participants’ shared perspectives. Baby body mapping facilitated a less directive interviewing style which produced people’s own classifications and visual descriptions that were used as a basis for discussion.

In this peer-reviewed article, I unpack structural violence in Maphisa underscored by the political economy in Zimbabwe, playing a pivotal role in the epidemics of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.

A reflection on the potential of AI to diagnose high-risk prenatal conditions, but its limitation when narrowly relying on biomedical markers and variables for datasets in communities presenting broader treatments and indicators outside of biomedicine. here
