\n\tSelected honorees will receive 30,000 South African rand per month for four months and team up with an AI engineer and program advisor to develop their unique ideas over a six-month process, starting with an industry exchange and launch workshop in November and culminating in a showcase in April 2026. Both events will be held at Wits University.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAs a dedicated partner to the continent\u2019s music ecosystem, Billboard Africa<\/em> is thrilled to support The MIND Institute\u2019s AI & African Music initiative.\u00a0We\u2019ve seen countless examples of how the marriage of African creativity and innovation not only propels culture forward but also changes lives, and nowhere has this been more evident than across Africa\u2019s vast and rich musical landscape,\u201d said Nkosiyati Khumalo<\/strong><\/strong>, editor-in-chief at Billboard Africa<\/em>, in a press release. \u201cTechnological projects which center African creativity allow for more opportunities to transmit culture, to create new pathways for discovery and collaboration, and to influence the global music and creative industries. We look forward to supporting and amplifying the exciting work the candidates produce.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\tSouth African-born, U.S.-based industry veteran and investor Charles Goldstuck<\/strong> is funding the project. Professors Christo Doherty <\/strong>of the Wits Innovation Centre and Benjamin Rosman<\/strong>, director of the MIND Institute, are driving AI & African music. <\/p>\n\n\t\u201cAfrican musical creativity offers tonalities, textures and traditions that challenge and expand today\u2019s AI tools \u2014 most of which are trained on Western data,\u201d said Doherty in a statement. \u201cThis project takes a bold step toward placing African creators at the centre of global technological transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAdded Rosman: \u201cThe MIND Institute is committed to driving homegrown innovation that reflects Africa\u2019s diverse cultural landscape. Through this project, we\u2019re not just participating in the global AI conversation \u2014 we\u2019re leading it. By supporting musicians to experiment with AI, we\u2019re unlocking new forms of expression and ensuring Africa is a creator, not just a consumer, in the future of artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
