The King’s College Old Boys’ Association has announced plans to integrate Artificial Intelligence into learning and teaching at King’s College Lagos, as part of activities marking the 116th anniversary of the institution.
At a press conference on Monday, KCOBA President, Dr Leke Oshunnuyi, said the association was committed to ensuring that students and teachers were adequately prepared for the future of education.
He explained that the 2025 Kingsweek celebrations, themed “The King’s College Legacy: Honouring the Past, Empowering the Future,” would feature a virtual conference on AI and its implications for education.
“Artificial Intelligence is transforming education globally, and we cannot afford to be left behind. Our plan is to provide the appropriate training and facilities so that teachers — whom we fondly call ‘masters’ — and students can embrace AI responsibly. The temptation to let AI do all the thinking is a strong one, but we will ensure its application is appropriate and beneficial for our unique context,” Oshunnuyi said.
KCOBA Social Secretary and Chairman of the Planning Committee, Arc Wole Eperokun, also stressed the need for balance.
“AI makes learning processes faster and up to 90 per cent more precise. However, we will not abandon the traditional classroom experience. Debating, interactive sessions, and real-life performance will remain part of King’s College culture. The students must be able to compete globally, but they must also be well-rounded,” he said.
