Exploring the benefits and challenges of ai applications in Zambia’s academic landscape

Abstract

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ushered in transformative changes across various sectors, with education being a prominent beneficiary. In the context of higher education, AI holds the promise of revolutionizing teaching and learning experiences. This article delves into the advantages and challenges associated with AI applications within Zambia's academic environment. By examining personalized learning, intelligent tutoring, administrative efficiency, and data-driven decision-making, we highlight the potential benefits and critical considerations for integrating AI into higher education. Furthermore, we address the pressing issue of AI-generated misinformation and its implications for information consumption in Zambia. Through a thorough analysis of scholarly research, expert insights, and guidance from UNESCO, this article aims to provide a nuanced understanding of AI's potential impact on Zambia's academic landscape.
