Episode 3 of Not Just Observers Series - premier AI governance series produced by StrangersX.
What does it mean to build AI that genuinely serves the public good and who gets to decide?
In this episode, I sit down with Philani Mdingi, Executive Director of @tech4good2025 and a seasoned technology leader known for delivering mission-aligned digital solutions for civil society and philanthropic networks. We explore the civic potential and political risks of AI in African contexts, and ask whether the current trajectories of innovation are truly aligned with public interest.
Drawing from his experience leading digital security and tech strategy at global human rights organisations, Philani reflects on how African actors can shape AI systems that empower rather than exclude and why protecting digital infrastructure is foundational to democratic participation.
