Abstract: Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers opportunities to advance good governance and combat corruption in South Africa, presenting a path to restore public confidence. This systematic review explores AI’s potential to enhance good governance, detect fraud, mitigate procurement risks, improve transparency, and address corruption, cybercrime, and disinformation challenges in South Africa. This article argues that the Presidency can lead a cultural shift by embracing technology as a critical enabler of good governance through AI-powered audit tools.
