How can artificial intelligence be harnessed to protect a nation’s soul and ensure its people’s security? The Empire Partner Foundation (EPF) and TechFinancials are posing this critical question for September’s TFS Q&A Competition, offering a R5,000 cash prize for the most innovative answer.
The latest challenge in the Solve For X initiative asks: “How can AI protect our heritage and keep our public spaces safer?”
This call to action invites students, tech developers, data scientists, and civic-minded innovators to propose practical AI applications. The challenge seeks solutions that could monitor heritage sites for vandalism or decay, analyse data to prevent crime in public areas, or create immersive educational experiences about South African history, all while being ethical and effective.
“South Africa’s rich cultural heritage and the safety of its communities are pillars of our national identity,” the initiative stated. “We believe AI holds incredible, untapped potential to serve as a guardian for both. We are looking for visionary yet actionable ideas that leverage technology for the profound good of society.”
