Episode 11: Nurturing AI - Ubuntu Ethics and Mothering Technology with Wakanyi Hoffman


Listen Later

Join Wakanyi Hoffman and Dr. Angel Acosta for a rich dialogue on the intersection of technology, ethics, and cultural values. Drawing from the Ubuntu philosophy—“a person is a person through other persons”—Wakanyi explores how this framework can inform the design and use of AI systems. Through the lens of "AI mothering," she challenges us to reimagine technology as a tool for nurturing relationships, promoting care, and embedding moral agency. This session invites us to reflect on the rapid pace of AI development and its ecological impact, while offering a vision for integrating technology into our communities in ways that uphold our shared humanity.
