 Professor Choi emphasized that AI presents a unique opportunity for Tanzania to advance traditional development stages and directly enter the contemporary economy.

He argued that just as English and mathematics are essential subjects, AI should also be made compulsory. 

He highlighted the necessity of systemic and legislative changes to ensure AI education aligns with global advancements. 

“By strategically prioritizing AI education and fully integrating it into the national agenda, Tanzania can empower its growing youth population and dynamic workforce.” he said.

This perspective, he noted, would cultivate a generation uniquely prepared to thrive in the inevitable era of AI. 

Jinki Hwang, the university’s president, expressed strong confidence in Tanzania’s potential to leverage AI technology for societal and industrial growth. 

Additionally, Professor Thierry Stephane Nouidui, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs, underscored the critical role of AI in everyday life, detailing its transformative potential across various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, and education, enhancing efficiency and speed.

He urged the introduction of AI education at the primary school level and emphasized the importance of equipping teachers with adequate AI knowledge, recognizing that these changes must be systematic and inclusive to achieve the desired positive impact.

In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an essential subject that permeates every sector, significantly impacting our daily lives. It has streamlined the teaching process in schools and universities, enhanced business operations, and fostered innovative thinking across various fields. As a result, AI plays a crucial role in shaping how we learn, work, and generate new ideas in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.
