Nigerian Professor Warns Against Over-Reliance on AI in Research
Professor Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of Nigeria’s Joint Admission & Matriculation Board (JAMB), has urged Nigerian researchers and students to avoid becoming overly dependent on artificial intelligence, reports The Guardian Nigeria. While acknowledging the benefits of AI in speeding up research processes, he emphasised the importance of critical thinking and human insight in academic work. His comments come amid growing concerns that AI tools like ChatGPT could stifle original thought and encourage academic shortcuts, especially in educational settings.
Editor’s Comment: Wise words, indeed. AI can be a useful assistant, but nothing beats good old human intuition and critical thinking! Let’s not forget that research is about more than just finding quick answers—it’s about the journey of discovery, too.
