[NAIROBI, SciDev.Net] Despite Africa’s growing digital footprint, the continent’s science and technology remains underrepresented on Wikipedia, one of the world’s most visited sources of information. For African science, being absent from this repository risks invisibility in emerging technologies such as AI. Mwaura believes the failure of many governments and universities to fund research adequately has weakened African voices in global knowledge. “I have trained people to write about unsung heroes, groundbreaking research, and innovative projects in Africa’s science and technology sector,” he said. “The platform has become part of the global knowledge infrastructure.”For Egbe, the need for other African scientists to contribute to the platform is urgent.
