In a groundbreaking move, Accra Institute of Technology (AIT) has announced its commitment to becoming one of the world’s first universities to fully embrace and integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) across all aspects of its operations. This transformative initiative was outlined by AIT President, Professor Clement Dzidonu, during the institution’s 20th graduation ceremony.
Speaking to the graduating class and distinguished guests, Professor Dzidonu emphasized the profound impact of AI and associated technologies on the future of higher education. “We stand at the dawn of an AI revolution, and it is no surprise that leading universities across the world are actively exploring ways to integrate these technologies into their operations,” he stated.
As a leading technological university, AIT recognizes that the integration of AI is not just a trend but a necessity in the 21st-century educational landscape. To this end, the university has committed to becoming a global pioneer in the holistic implementation of AI across 12 critical stages of the student life cycle, including curriculum development, program delivery, assessments, research, and alumni engagement.
“By seamlessly integrating AI and associated technologies into all aspects of what we do at this university, AIT is not only enhancing the educational experience for our students but also positioning itself as a global leader in the intelligent and innovative delivery of higher education,” Professor Dzidonu announced.
The AIT Board of Trustees, which include six former Vice Chancellors is currently spearheading the development of comprehensive policy provisions and guidelines to facilitate this transformative integration of AI and other emerging educational technologies. This initiative aims to ensure that AIT graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and adaptability to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven economy and society.
“We believe that this holistic approach will not only benefit our students but also position AIT as a global leader in the intelligent and innovative delivery of enriching higher education in the sub-region and beyond,” Professor Dzidonu concluded.
This bold move by Accra Institute of Technology underscores the university’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and ensuring that its students are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
