Renowned educator, Professor Clement Dzidonu, President of the Accra Institute of Technology (AIT), has urged African youth to be abreast with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The technology visionary shared invaluable insights about the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the future of Africa and the world.
In his speech during the recent graduation ceremony of AIT, Professor Dzidonu shed light on the paradoxical nature of knowledge in the age of AI, stating, "In the age of AI, the more you know, the less you know."
The event, held at the AIT campus on October 14, brought together a gathering of accomplished graduates eager to embrace the power of knowledge to impact their field in the AI era.
He emphasized the exponential growth of information and the boundless possibilities that AI presents, urging the graduating students to remain humble, curious, and open-minded in their pursuit of knowledge.
Professor Dzidonu encouraged African youth to delve deeper into their respective fields to uncover new questions and complexities that will continuously expand their awareness of the vast unknown in the age of AI.
"The vast expanse of AI capabilities continually reveals new horizons, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge", he noted.
Expanding on this concept, Professor Dzidonu underscored the correlation between action and capability, asserting, "The more you do, the more you can do. Using knowledge acquired to do and accomplish things in one's field is the catalyst for growth and transformation in the age of AI. Embrace innovation, take risks, and be proactive in shaping your future. As African youth, you have the power to harness technology to drive positive change on the continent and beyond."
The President of AIT underscored the importance of applying knowledge through action, highlighting that true growth and competence arise from actively engaging with the world.
Encouraging the graduates to embrace challenges and take calculated risks, he inspired them to leverage their skills and knowledge acquired at AIT to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.
Professor Dzidonu's words resonated deeply with today's African youth, igniting a collective sense of purpose and determination.
His message served as a catalyst, empowering the African youth to embrace their roles as catalysts of change in an ever-evolving world where AI reshapes industries and societies.
