Professor Lawrence Muganga’s Ai Book
As we report this, the world today is thriving on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, which allows computers, phones, and other digital machines to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving capabilities. To break it down, AI is the new life we live because in the education system, for example, it personalizes learning experiences, automates administrative tasks, provides insights through data analytics, and facilitates remote learning. AI-powered tools can adapt to individual student needs, offering tailored instruction and feedback.
Additionally, AI helps educators identify areas for improvement, optimize curriculum, and enhance overall efficiency in educational processes. Further, AI technologies like speech recognition and natural language processing improve accessibility for students with disabilities, allowing them to participate more fully in educational activities. Subsequently, during times of crisis or when physical attendance is not possible, AI facilitates remote learning by providing virtual classrooms, interactive simulations, and real-time collaboration tools…I mean, the power of AI is just huge.
Now, after realizing that the world is developing on AI technology and the job market is easily accessed by digitally upright graduates, Prof Lawrence Muganga has come up with a groundbreaking AI book dubbed; ”From Chalk To CHATBOTS: Discovering Authentic Education With AI”, ranking him the first-ever author of a book about Artificial Intelligence in East Africa. In this book that will soon be launched, Prof Muganga, the Vice Chancellor of Victoria University showcases his commitment to integrating AI into university education on the continent, no wonder Victoria University is now not only Uganda but also East Africa’s leading technologically-enabled University.
From Chalk to ChatBots
According to Muganga, this book will open the eyes of fellow academicians, policymakers, and other stakeholders in the education sector as it calls for innovative teaching methodologies that align with the real world in this fourth industrial revolution. ”We live in the age of artificial intelligence, so we must dig deep and understand what AI is all about and how we can leverage it to better ourselves. We can make money with AI, we can use it to fight unemployment, but we can’t do anything before we understand its magic which the book reveals,” says Muganga referring to the ingredients in his book.He asserts that for any University to be ranked amongst the best and for any business to thrive and register itself globally, it must embrace and live with AI. ”We have to sacrifice and make AI our friend and learn how it works, if we don’t sacrifice for what we want then what we want becomes the sacrifice.
Therefore, this book from ‘Chalk to Chatbots’ is the answer to all you must know about AI, it will teach you and tip you on how to achieve the best out of the AI digital economy,” adds Muganga. The book is seen as an eye-opener that will technologically impact not only Ugandans but the entire African continent. In His Brief Remarks About This ‘Must Read’ Book, Muganga Says; “ From Chalk to CHATBOTS: Discovering Authentic Education with AI, the book aims at ‘Re-discovering Authentic Education with AI’ and it is a trusty GPS for everyone trying to navigate the crossroads where education meets Al. You may be thinking that Al sounds complicated. Not to worry, this book is super reader-friendly.

Think of it like sitting down for coffee with the author, rather than sitting in some stuffy college lecture. Throughout these pages, we will explore how Al is not just about fancy robots taking over the classroom but how we as humans, can team up with tech to make learning more effective than ever before.This book is packed full of potential and ideas on how Al can jazz up how we learn, but it’s not all rosy; we won’t gloss over the hard stuff. We need to think about privacy, keeping things fair, and ensuring no one gets left behind. At its heart, education is still all about people.
It’s about sparking creativity and nurturing empathy. ’’Whether you’re shaping young minds, deciding on the big policies, riding the school bus, or helping with homework after dinner, Dr. Muganga re-affirms that this book is the perfect choice for everyone and invites everyone “to join this big, exciting conversation as we figure out this new world together.” Prof Muganga, an award-winning author of the best-seller “You Can’t Make Fish Climb Trees” and “Authentic University” has been conferred as ‘change advocate’, ‘education evangelist’, ‘strategist’ and ‘enterprising’, venerated for his enviable oratory and inspiration prowess. He blends a personal drive to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families through education and a passion for technology-powered innovation.
Also to note: Muganga is a Ugandan-born Canadian scholar who doesn’t fancy just being an academician and the leader of a higher education institution but works tirelessly to be the catalyst for that tidal effect of change needed to reach tens of millions of people who could benefit from more affordable, more-relevant, and more-flexible educational options.
