Tayebwa asks educational institutions to embrace AI
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa has emphasized a crucial role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing Uganda’s education system. Speaking at the inaugural AI exhibition organized by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) at the Kamukuzi grounds, Tayebwa spotlighted the transformative impact of AI in sectors such as business and healthcare and urged educational institutions to incorporate AI-driven learning solutions to foster societal development.
During his address, Tayebwa challenged students to become proactive problem solvers, underscoring the importance of embracing responsible AI practices in their academic pursuits. “As we stand on the brink of an AI revolution, our students must harness this technology to drive positive change,” he stated.
However, Tayebwa also issued a cautionary note regarding the potential misuse of AI. He stressed the importance of using this powerful technology solely for educational purposes, warning that failure to do so could lead to harmful consequences. “We must ensure that AI is utilized responsibly to safeguard the integrity of our education system and promote a sustainable future,” he added.
The AI exhibition marks a pivotal step towards integrating advanced technologies in Uganda’s educational framework setting the stage for a new era of learning and innovation.
