AI in Practice Forum

The AI in Practice Forum is part of the AI in Africa Research Project led by African Leadership University (ALU) and SAND Technologies, with funding support from Google.org. This two-year research initiative explores how artificial intelligence can help address major socio-economic challenges in education, agriculture, health, and SME development while ensuring ethical governance and responsible deployment.

Following successful convenings in Rwanda, Ghana, and South Africa, we will host the AI in Practice Forum on 3–4 December 2025, with a distinct focus on two sectors at the heart of Nigeria’s future: Education and Healthcare.

This forum is uniquely designed around the voices and experiences of frontline practitioners: teachers, school administrators, doctors, nurses, and hospital managers. These are the professionals who best understand both the promise and pitfalls of AI adoption. Their perspectives are critical in shaping dialogue, policy, and implementation strategies.

Day 1 will explore how AI can enhance teaching, learning, and school management in Nigeria. Educators and administrators will engage directly with AI tools, examine real use cases from Nigerian EdTech startups, and discuss practical challenges such as infrastructure, training, and ethics.

Day 2 will focus on how AI can improve patient care, diagnostics, and hospital operations. Clinicians and health administrators will interact with AI solutions currently being tested in Nigerian hospitals, assess their benefits and risks, and highlight the conditions required for safe, effective implementation.

The goal: chart a clear path for integrating AI into Nigeria’s healthcare system responsibly and sustainably.

The goal: identify where AI can make the biggest impact in classrooms and define what’s needed for responsible, scalable adoption.
