Embracing AI in Education: Africa should not be left behind again
Let’s face it: While we debate the ethical implications and practicalities of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, the reality is that it is already deeply embedded in our education systems. Educators are using AI tools to set assessments and students are using AI to write the answers. But rather than welcome this shift, we find ourselves in a contradictory state—criticising the very instruments we covertly depend on. The problem is not that these instruments are intrinsically evil; rather, we lack the necessary rules to properly include them into our educational systems.
