Revolutionizing Education: The Transformative Role of AI Robots in Africa“But the plan is to actually make sure that we deploy other Iris [robots] to every African country because it's not about South Africa, we all African we need to make sure that we elevate each other. So, if South Africa is growing in terms of this AI, why can't we help our brothers and sisters in other countries? So basically, that's why I even added these languages so that now if I have schools that wish, or parents that wish to have Iris, it's not going to be a struggle.” #PanAfricanFrequency sat down with Thando Gumede, South African innovator of IRIS–a multilingual AI robot tutor–to discuss the bold vision behind her innovation in boosting learning outcomes across Africa.Join us in this fascinating discussion as we discuss how the made-in-Africa AI-tutor positioned as a tool for teacher enhancement and student empowerment is reframing the narrative of Artificial Intelligence in Africa.▶ Tune in to the full interview via:Telegram’s built-in playerOur websiteApple Podcasts | Afripods | Deezer | Pocket Casts | Podcast Addict | SpotifySubscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
