Case study of Cameroon’s Ministry of Higher Education in the use of Artificial inteIligence, by Prof Atsa Etoundi Roger (AUB AI Summit)

Should we be afraid of AI?

1- Yes, AI is an opportunity for Africa's development. It will reduce the gap between North and South.

2- It allows Africa to have its own identity in this new ecosystem with the indigenisation of technological solutions and the theorisation of African knowledge.

3- AI is a breeding ground for millions of jobs for young Africans, who have a serious problem of socio-professional integration.

AI-based solution

A- Setting up the technological infrastructure

1- Construction of a Cameroon inter-university network (RIC);

2- Distribution of 500,000 terminals for access to cyberspace;

3- Interconnection of all campus buildings (campus network)

4- Construction of 10 university digital development centres (CDNU);

5- Provision of high-speed Internet access to the university community;

6- Development of Cameroon's integrated higher education management information system (SIGIRES).
