Abstract

This paper explores the role of African ethical philosophies, particularly Ubuntu, and interreligious dialogue in enhancing AI governance frameworks. It reveals that these philosophies provide robust principles for ethical AI development, emphasizing interconnectedness, community, and mutual respect. Interreligious dialogue synthesizes ethical principles from various religious traditions, such as stewardship, justice, and benevolence. The study concludes that integrating these diverse perspectives can significantly enhance the ethical soundness of AI systems, ensuring they uphold human dignity and social justice. These insights make an important contribution to the ongoing discourse on ethical AI governance, addressing existing gaps and providing practical strategies for inclusive policy development. Policy recommendations include developing ethical guidelines reflecting these philosophies and interfaith ethical principles.
