The South African government has officially congratulated Professor Vukosi Marivate, a leading data scientist and artificial intelligence (AI) expert from the University of Pretoria, on his appointment to the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence — a new and landmark scientific body convened under the aegis of the United Nations.
Prof Marivate was recommended to the panel by the UN Secretary-General, alongside 40 global experts selected from thousands of applicants in over 140 countries. The panel is the first fully independent scientific body dedicated to advancing unbiased, evidence-based understanding of AI’s real-world impacts — from economic transformation to societal and ethical implications. Its mission is to help governments, policymakers, industry and the public distinguish fact from misinformation and ensure AI supports inclusive, equitable progress.
