In the age of Society 5.0, marked by the profound integration of digital technologies and human society, the preservation and management of audiovisual archives in Africa face substantial challenges. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in the establishment of digital archives in Society 5.0. The exponential growth of digital content, combined with the continent’s diverse cultural landscape, presents complex obstacles to conventional archival practices. Without the effective implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, crucial aspects such as curation, accessibility and sustainable management of audiovisual archives in Africa remain hindered. Thus, the overarching problem under scrutiny pertains to how the establishment of intelligent archives, facilitated by artificial intelligence (AI), can offer innovative solutions for preserving and managing audiovisual archives in Africa within the overarching framework of Society 5.0. This approach has the potential to significantly contribute to safeguarding Africa’s rich cultural heritage and advancing research, education and cultural exchange. The purpose of this article is to focus on the challenges encountered by selected African countries in managing their audiovisual collections and what can be done to facilitate AI. It resulted in the formulation of a framework for implementing smart archives using AI in African contexts, emphasising practical strategies and best practices.
