HUMA

In March 2021 I took up a research post at the Institute for Humanities in Africa (HUMA) at the University of Cape Town (UCT). The close frame of my research is into the human implications of the role Artificial Intelligence (AI) may play in healthcare (particularly hospitals) in Africa. I am part of a team funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, under the title ‘Future Hospitals: 4IR and Ethics of Care in Africa‘. My wider remit is the role of the human in the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) in Africa, which brings this research into relationship with my creative work with other iconic technologies of the 4IR: Virtual Reality (VR), 3D printing and CNC processes, and interactive electronics.
