Every crisis creates two challenges: responding to events as they unfold and communicating timeously, accurately, and with empathy while public attention is at its highest.

AI is changing how institutions monitor emerging issues, understand public sentiment and respond in real time. Human intelligence ensures those responses remain responsible, credible and compassionate.

Join moderator Kemantha Govender with Fikile Ntsikelelo Moya, Chrispin Phiri and Matshepo Seedat, as they unpack how governments can combine technology and human judgement to build trust when it matters most.
