The Director of the Global Quality Assurance Association (GQAA), Dr Violet Makuku, has called on tertiary institutions in Africa to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) or risk falling behind in global education standards. Speaking at a three-day symposium recently on Quality Assurance in Higher and Tertiary Education, Dr Makuku stressed that AI was no longer a future concept but a present reality. “We are already in the future. Tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly and Google Forms have transformed the way we work, enhancing productivity and efficiency. Tasks that once took hours can now be completed in minutes,” she said.
