Who Will Tell Africa’s Stories in the Age of Generative AI?
By Bruce Mahero
This feature examines how generative AI can shape Africa’s representation through the data and perspectives used to train it. It discusses the underrepresentation of African languages, efforts such as Masakhane, and the risk that incomplete or biased information can reinforce narrow portrayals. Turning to newsrooms, it argues that AI-assisted work still requires verification, editorial judgement and accountability. It calls for African journalists, researchers, technologists and communities to help build the datasets, context and rules behind these systems—and to use AI as a tool for telling African stories, not as their author.
