In his captivating speech, Professor Dzidonu shed light on the paradoxical nature of knowledge in the age of AI, stating, "In the age of AI, the more you know, the less you know." He emphasized the exponential growth of information and the boundless possibilities that AI presents, urging the graduating students to remain humble, curious, and open-minded in their pursuit of knowledge. Professor Dzidonu encouraged them to recognize that as Africa's youth, they need to delve deeper into their respective fields to uncover new questions and complexities that will continuously expand their awareness of the vast unknown in the age of AI. "The vast expanse of AI capabilities continually reveals new horizons, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge", he noted.

Expanding on this concept, Professor Dzidonu underscored the correlation between action and capability, asserting, "The more you do, the more you can do. Using knowledge acquired to do and accomplish things in one's field is the catalyst for growth and transformation in the age of AI. Embrace innovation, take risks, and be proactive in shaping your future. As African youth, you have the power to harness technology to drive positive change on the continent and beyond."  He emphasized the importance of applying knowledge through action, highlighting that true growth and competence arise from actively engaging with the world. Encouraging the graduates to embrace challenges and take calculated risks, he inspired them to leverage their skills and knowledge acquired at AIT to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.
