Professor Muhammad Alamgir, member of Bangladesh University Grants Commission (UGC), said artificial intelligence will have an impact on the dynamics of higher education in Bangladesh just as it has on affluent nations worldwide.
In accordance with the global context, he invited the educationists to offer suggestions for how artificial intelligence may be incorporated into the country's institutions' higher education curricula.
He said this while speaking as chief guest at the inauguration of a day-long training workshop on ‘the possibilities and threats of artificial intelligence and robotics to face the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution’, according to a press release.
