As the Kruger National Park celebrates its centenary in 2026, Beyond the Code: AI and Law explores a critical question: How can Artificial Intelligence help protect Africa's natural heritage while ensuring that justice and human rights remain at the centre of conservation?
In Episode 8, University of Johannesburg Vice-Chancellor Prof Letlhokwa Mpedi is joined by Prof Tshilidzi Marwala, Rector of the United Nations University and a globally renowned AI expert, for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, law enforcement, conservation and environmental justice.
With millions of hectares to protect and limited resources available to conservation teams, AI is increasingly being explored as a tool to amplify human capabilities. The discussion examines technologies such as predictive AI systems that analyse historical poaching patterns, weather, terrain and other data to help inform patrol routes and proactive law-enforcement strategies.
As the Kruger National Park begins its second century, this episode reflects on the powerful intersection of ancient wilderness stewardship and cutting-edge digital governance—and asks how the technology we develop today can help protect the natural world for generations to come.
This special episode of Beyond the Code: AI and Law was produced in celebration of the Kruger National Park Centenary.
