• Malaysia Varsity refuses to own a satellite campus in Nigeria
Nigeria and other African countries are being encouraged to strategically invest and deploy artificial intelligence (AI).
Beyond AI as a scriptwriter, it is emphasized that deeper use of AI in helping students do their tasks, helping writers write, and helping humans solve key issues of science, health, humanities and art should be a new focus if Africa has to be competitive.
Yesterday, hosting African journalists at PERAG in Malaysia and stated that as part of QNET's ongoing V-Convention Malaysia 2025 edition, Quest International University (QIU) Global Integrated Training Associates (GITA), Dr. Nicholas Goh, and Nigeria and indeed, Africa can in particular carry out the emerging technologies of AI.
At the events of Malaysia, Go described AI as the future, saying that African countries should not be left behind and that more revolutions on technology have not yet been revealed.
Computer Science expert Goh recalled that, just as when the computer was first discovered, students were halting their use based on not letting students think analytically.
“But what's happening now, the calculator is used everywhere. The same thing is happening with AI. This prevents people from using it. It's not. AI should not complement our capabilities. At universities here, in universities here, they encourage AI to use it as a tool to do things that are especially impossible for humans.”
In her remarks, Prof. Zita Mohd Fahmi, Deputy Prime Minister of QIU, Pelagh, condemned allegations that the university has satellite campuses in Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
The VC said: “It doesn't exist outside the Perag campus in Malaysia. Especially in Africa, we don't plan to install it anywhere else. In Malaysia we want to integrate more. There's no scholarship to con artists who have taken many people and then undermined the reputation of Qiu and Qnet.”
Meanwhile, the United States has emerged as the most innovative AI country, with the largest number of AI models, with $77.6 billion invested in the sector.
With the global AI market exceeding 130 billion euros and expected to grow to nearly 1.9 trillion euros by 2030, Singapore has emerged as the strongest country in demand for AI talent.
