Decolonizing mathematical futures: the role of artificial intelligence in reviving and repositioning ethnomathematics in curriculum design in Africa
Masilo France Machaba
This paper delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in revitalizing ethnomathematics within African educational systems, positioning this intersection as a key strategy for decolonizing mathematics education. Drawing on decolonial theory, ethnomathematical research, and emerging AI applications, it develops a comprehensive framework that addresses the persistent challenges of integrating indigenous mathematical knowledge into formal curricula. The analysis reveals that
