Patricia Maluti

Patricia Maluti is a Senior Engineer who has spent over 15 years at Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) at the forefront of how Zambia adopts, governs, and benefits from new technologies.

She’s been part of some of Zambia’s landmark digital milestones — from the transition to digital terrestrial television (DVB-T2) to the establishment of the country’s first national data centre through her work on cloud computing adoption.

These days, her focus is squarely on AI and data science — specifically how they can drive real, practical outcomes across sectors, improve decision-making, and support sustainable development. She’s been an active contributor to international AI standardisation efforts through the ITU, particularly around AI Readiness, and has played a hands-on role in developing Zambia’s ICT Sandbox Guidelines and advancing the country’s AI policy frameworks.

Patricia is passionate about bridging the gap between global frameworks and what actually works on the ground in Zambia, and that’s exactly what today’s conversation is about.

When she’s not navigating the world of AI and policy, you’ll find her indulging in culinary arts, music, painting, or exploring different cultures.
