Speaking at the UNIPGC-Africa Masterclass at the Argyle Grand Hotel, she emphasized that leaders who fail to adapt to technology risk being left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dr. Ndung\u2019u, AI\u2014the simulation of human intelligence in machines\u2014is transforming industries by automating tasks, improving efficiency, and enhancing decision-making. Sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, security, and transportation are already experiencing the impact of AI-driven innovation. However, she warns that along with its benefits, AI also presents challenges such as privacy concerns, job displacement, and accountability, which must be carefully managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ndung\u2019u pointed out that automation is rapidly replacing traditional jobs. Waitstaff roles in restaurants are disappearing, airports are integrating AI-driven systems, banks have digitized their operations, and customer service is increasingly handled by AI chatbots. In transportation, self-driving taxis and trucks are becoming a reality, while Dubai is even testing flying taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She urged leaders to develop digital agility and adaptability, warning that leaders with technology will replace those without it. AI, she explained, is not a threat but a powerful tool that enhances productivity, streamlines operations, and fosters innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNIPGC-AFRICA United Nations International Peace and Governance Council Africa Chapter headed by the global President HE Ambassador Dr. Jonathan Ojadah who&#8217;s is in the country in preparation for a MEGA Nigeria convocation. HE is accompanied by Dr Susan Ake with their local coordinator Dr Wangeci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Masterclass was training leaders who&#8217;ll be crowned as Global Peace ambassadors where Dr Ekrah will also be recognized as Global Commander of Peace to keep the SDG for peace rolling in Education sector<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ndung\u2019u concluded by stressing that the world is evolving at a rapid pace, and leaders must integrate AI into their strategies while ensuring ethical and sustainable implementation. The future belongs to those who embrace change\u2014are today\u2019s leaders ready for it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Kariuki The National Chairperson of the Kenya National Association of Private Colleges KENAPCO&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5692"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5694,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5692\/revisions\/5694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
