A digital resource organization, in partnership with the founders of GMind AI 2.0, is advocating for government support to empower Nigerians in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Dr. Success Ojo and Dr. Oluseye Ojo highlighted the need for increased digital literacy among citizens, starting from primary schools.
During the launch of the GotoCourse platform for GMind AI 2.0 in Ibadan, Oyo State, the duo emphasized the importance of addressing the factors hindering Nigerians from fully grasping Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and new AI technologies. They believe that by enhancing knowledge and understanding of AI, particularly among teachers and students, Nigeria can harness the potential of AI to drive innovation and economic growth.
Dr. Ojo stressed that GMind AI 2.0 will play a crucial role in enhancing people’s digital literacy, acceptance, and confidence in handling digital information. The innovative AI-enabled solution developed by Gotocourse promises to support educators and empower individuals to navigate the digital landscape effectively.
It is clear that the government’s intervention is essential in promoting digital literacy and creating awareness about the benefits of AI technologies. By investing in educational programs and initiatives that promote AI learning from an early age, Nigeria can equip its citizens with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital era. The collaboration between the private sector and the government will be key in driving this digital transformation and ensuring that Nigeria remains competitive in the global AI landscape.
