  What are the innovation opportunities presented by artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) presents numerous innovation opportunities across various industries and sectors. Some of the key opportunitiesare analysed here  Improved Efficiency  AI can automate repetitive tasks, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently and allocate human resources to more strategic activities. Enhanced Customer Experience AI can be used to personalize customer experiences, such as recommending products based on past purchases or providing real-time support through chatbots. Data Analysis and Insights  AI can analyze large volumes of data quickly and accurately, providing valuable insights that can inform decision-making and drive business growth. Automation of Manual Processes AI can automate manual processes, such as data entry or document processing, freeing up time for employees to focus on more value-added tasks. Predictive Analytics AI can use historical data to predict future t

AI good. AI is helpful but the rise of Artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt various industries and businesses, leading to the decline or transformation of some traditional roles and practices. Some industries and businesses that may be significantly impacted include: Customer Service  AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can handle many customer inquiries and support tasks, potentially reducing the need for human customer service representatives. Transportation  The development of autonomous vehicles could disrupt industries such as taxi services, trucking, and delivery services, as AI takes over driving tasks. Retail   AI-powered e-commerce platforms and personalized shopping experiences could change the way people shop, potentially reducing the need for traditional brick-and-mortar stores and retail workers. Manufacturing AI and robotics are increasingly used in manufacturing, leading to more automation and potentially reducing the need for manual labor in some

If you are an educator or a school owner, you can use artificial intelligence (AI) in various ways to enhance education, streamline administrative tasks, and improve overall efficiency.  In this post, I share some possibilities of educational use of artificial intelligence: Personalized Learning Use AI to create personalized learning experiences for students based on their learning styles, abilities, and interests.  AI can analyze student performance data in real time and adapt the learning material to suit each student's pace and level of understanding. This ensures that students are challenged at the right level and can progress at their own speed.  AI algorithms can analyze a student's learning history and preferences to recommend relevant educational content, such as articles, videos, or interactive lessons, that align with their interests and goals. AI can also create personalized learning paths for each student based on their strengths, weaknesses, and learning objectives

Today i sat quietly at the front lf my neighbourhood, receiving natural air to roll-back the spectre of the warming planet. As I sit down, for a while, I later moved in and got myself surrounded by machines and the glow of their screens. The i began to think about the rise of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) that has brought about a revolution in efficiency and productivity, but it also raises important questions in my mind about our role in the world we live now. Some people argue that we must embrace AI and let it do the thinking for us. They say that AI can process information faster and more accurately than humans, and that we should focus on more "creative" pursuits. But I fear that this approach would be a mistake. While AI is incredibly powerful, it is not a replacement for human thought and judgment. Machines lack the nuance, empathy, and critical thinking skills that are essential for making decisions that affect our lives and our world. Moreover, if we rely too heav

BENUE SON (BENJAMIN LASHIMA) BAGS FIRST CLASS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, MINNA, NIGER STATE NIGERIA  Benjamin Lanshima, the latest shining star in the world of engineering, has demonstrated his excellence and exceptional potentials by bagging a first class honours in Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Minna putting Benue State on the map yet again.  Benjamin's exceptional mathematical skills coupled with his diligence and commitment to studies have set him apart as an outstanding scholar with a bright future ahead. As a proud alumni of Mount St. Gabriel's Secondary School Makurdi, where he led his alma mater to several successes at various mathematical competitions, Mr. Lanshima's success is a testament to the quality education and strong foundation he received during his formative years. His relentless drive for success and dedication to his craft have not gone unnoticed, as he continues to inspir

The global south is everywhere and it's nowhere. It is everywhere because political leaders, including Joe Biden, Narendra Modi, Emmanuel Macron and Xi Jinping, have recently adopted the term.  And yet it is nowhere. The global south is not labelled on any map nor in any atlas. Indeed, many countries considered part of it are actually in the northern hemisphere. Such cartographical contortions are silly—but then so is talk of “the West” when its coterie includes Australia and New Zealand. The simplest working definition of the global south is that it refers to most, but not quite all, non-Western countries.  "Global South" is also a term used to refer to countries and regions that are less economically developed, primarily located in the Southern Hemisphere. It includes countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania.  The term is often used in contrast to the "Global North," which refers to the more economically developed countries in the Northern Hemisph
