As Artificial Intelligence (AI) new technologies proliferate, touching almost every aspect of our lives, their governance has come into the public limelight. How can AI technologies be better governed to ensure that they are designed and used responsibly? This question goes into the heart of the need to have some sort of a governance machinery for them. How can such a governance mechanism be achieved? This has sparked conversations about what guiding epistemologies (or wisdoms) should inform and shape the governance of AI. The search for such epistemologies (or wisdoms) is ‘in full swing’, and with this book chapter, I contribute to that search. I submit that the Basotho Ancestral Knowledge (BAK) can contribute to AI governance through its untapped institutional ‘governance resources’ of the Pitso (public assembly), the Lekhotla (council), the Baeletsi (advisors) and the Baholisi or Batataisi (guardians). Hence, I argue that these institutions can, both individually and collectively, define how AI governance is conceived, institutionalised and functioned. To this end, I deposit that these institutions’ wisdom does have a potential to enrich AI governance to be inclusive, open and relational, and I provide some plausible reasons to take their wisdom seriously from Global South standpoint.
