Abstract

It means we need to be cognisant of the intricacies and nuances of AI.
It means we need to be alert to the perils and potentialities of tech innovation...
It means we need to consider our history in and for this era...
It means human and rights-based regulation and practices...
It means that we need to keep abreast of Local and Global aspirations and orientations...
It means we need to revisit our knowledge and evidence base for education and practice...
