Generative AI has found numerous applications in Education ranging from tutoring bots to agents that synthesis and summarize information from large educational corpuses. What are some yet-to-be explored applications of AI in the African educational space, particularly examples that combat unequal access to education?
I came across an interesting AI tool earlier in the year (2023), the tool is being developed by Africans, with African teachers and for African teachers. This generative AI tool, Curry AI empowers teachers to curate and create pre-vetted lesson notes and test questions seamlessly by feeding larger data sets (in form of pictures, e-books, website links, etc, containing content that are relevant to specific topics in the curriculum) into the AI platform. Teachers whose content have been vetted to be of high standard could earn by selling their lesson notes to other teachers and schools interested in using their content or whose content were not approved as up to the minimum required standard. I hope to see AI being used in ways that promote qualitative and not just quantitative access to learning content.
