If you ask anyone, “who is the greatest African of all time?”, the name of Nelson Mandela of South Africa will likely pop up. I took this question to three Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. They all chorused “Dr Nelson Mandela.”
While Gemini and Claude held Kwame Nkrumah in second place with Mansa Musa third, ChatGPT put Mansa Musa second and Nkrumah third. In typical fashion, ChatGPT went on to rank six other greats: Julius Nyerere, Patrice Lumumba, Haile Selassie, Thomas Sankara, Shaka Zulu and Nnamdi Azikiwe.
