AIoT & Cybersecurity · Ethical AI & Data Governance
Advancing cybersecurity, ethical AI and IoT for sustainable development in Africa.
Connecting digital trust, data governance and ICT for Development (ICT4D) through research and partnerships that advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I’m Attlee Munyaradzi Gamundani (AMG)—a researcher and educator working at the intersection of AIoT, cybersecurity and ethical AI. Through ICT for Development (ICT4D), I explore how digital technologies can address community needs, strengthen public services and support inclusive, sustainable development in Africa.
To put this purpose into practice, I work with academic, public-sector and industry partners to lead collaborative research, mentor postgraduate researchers, inform policy and deliver practical training. These partnerships build local skills and institutional capacity to apply research in ways that benefit communities.
