The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, on Wednesday, began training Nigerian teachers and students in the use of artificial intelligence and robotics engineering. Addressing the participants, UNESCO’s Head in Abuja, Abdourahamane Diallo, emphasised the importance of promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education at all levels. Artificial intelligence, along with other advancing technologies like robotics and cloud computing, can be applied for effective STEM training. “At this point, it is essential to recognise artificial intelligence and robotics as remarkable gifts from technology creators. Your dedication and passion for teaching are vital in inspiring students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, which form the bedrock of sustainable development.”
