THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION

The areas where technology, including AI, will be deployed include teaching, learning, research, assessment, and administration; strengthening digital literacy and skills for all, especially for teachers and students; and building the capacity of AU member states in requisite infrastructure for digital education.

Already some African countries are leapfrogging the process.  Rwanda, as an example, is the first African country to have an AI policy that acts as a roadmap to harness the benefits and mitigate associated risks, especially those associated with sharing children’s data with those who should not have access to such information.
