“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”. “Once you stop learning, you start dying”. These are two famous quotes of Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time.
Lifelong learning is the process of obtaining knowledge throughout one’s lifetime. Many have thought lifelong learning to be strictly within the four walls of a classroom, however, this type of learning takes the form of both formal and informal learning. That is, it could be in the classroom, or it could be outside of the classroom.
It is however of essence to note that lifelong learning begins at birth. Thus, the high value placed on education. Children who have access to quality education among other factors like healthy diet, good health and wellbeing, safe environment from their early childhood grow up to be better-developed individuals. This is because their cognitive ability has been developed right from a young age. It, however, does not stop at early childhood education alone. Education up to the tertiary level equips individuals better for life, ensuring that both cognitive and socio-behavioral skills are adequately developed.
However, as clearly stated before, lifelong learning is not just about schooling. One might learn a vocational skill or an interpersonal skill that puts you at an edge over others in the society. This is why, many individuals even in their mid-ages learn another skill outside of their educational qualifications and certificates. This serves as resistant, tolerant, and adaptive mechanisms for life situations.
With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the million-dollar question now is, will AI be beneficial or detrimental to the entire human population? While some argue that the development of AI will aid learning and learners through provision of access to “unlimited” data, others debate that AI is rendering human abilities “useless” and still not being efficient at it (due to impersonal learning platforms).
It is, therefore, essential to investigate the concept and provide a balance. As Einstein stated, we cannot afford to cease learning. In clear terms, this would mean that various governments would decline in development as the individuals (young, and old) who should contribute to the development have surrendered creativity to AI. Yet, AI is first as a result of human creativity and makes learning easy and accessible which are good indicators of inclusion and diversity.
The ball, then is in your court, my court, to deal wisely when it comes to the use of AI and not depend solely on it. Decide to keep gaining knowledge, and building skills outside AI. Again, all stakeholders must be intentional about building a solid learning system for children and young ones.
Insightful piece this is… Thanks so much for sharing
I’ve just read an impactful post. Education isn’t just what we have within the four walls of the classroom, education is training oneself to know what is right and how to do it.
I agree that AI can be tremendously beneficial to every properly oriented individual, provided we’ll use it to aid learning and not form unnecessary consummate dependence.
I am happy, I’m learning.
Thanks a bunch TSDI.

So I must keep learning and developing my self.
I learnt something amazing
Thank you TSDI.
It remains human’s sole duty to have total control over AI which they created, and not the other way round.
Thank you TSDI for reminding me of the ball in my Court to not just rely on my knowledge gotten from the four walls of an educational systems , but also use the knowledge gotten for a whole life time.
The advent of AI in the education sector will really boost the quality of education in our country. From helping children with cognitive deficiencies to giving the geniuses a better platform to learn from.
Thank you TSDI for this amazing piece!
Well there would always be advantages and disadvantages but the side to which we want all depends on us
Thank you TSDI I learnt something
This is so educative! I must keep gaining knowledge and be intentional about building a solid learning system for children and young ones.
Inspiring!
Thank you so much TSDI for always bringing to our mind intentionality and the Impact-consciousness.
Yes TSDI, As great as AI is, It is advisable to try to find solutions to problem on your own, before you use any AI tool.
AI should not be the first option for anyone who wants to be a life long learner.
This is very insightful, Education growth should start at birth and cease only at death…. That is to say as far as I am living I keep learning too. Thank you so much for the enlightenment.
Amazing!!
What an insight!!
Acquiring knowledge must be a continuous thing, not just in the four walls of the school alone, but also outside, acquiring various skills.
Also learning to harness the positive side of AI and not depending too much on it.
Thank you TSDI
This is so insightful, Learning begins at birth and it is a continuous thing.
Learning never ends!
This is eye opening, I will continue to build capacity using lifelong learning opportunities.
Thanks You Tsdi !! I am learned alot here.

Dealing wisely when it comes to using AI is really important, total dependency on AI is not wise enough.
Building a solid system for children and young one is also important.
Thank you TSDI for this educative piece.

Really!!! the ball is in my court to gain knowledge and build skills outside AI and as well as build a strong learning system for children.
Thank you TSDI
Exactly my thoughts too! AI has its advantage and disadvantage and this can be factored on the use from different individuals! This is really insightful! Thank you TSDI!
There are advantages and disadvantages to the use of AI but there must not be too much dependence on it because the moment the process of learning stops one starts dieing. Getting knowledge must be a continuous thing in order to be relevant and to be a resourceful person.
Thank you so much TSDI
This is so enlightening
Wow!! This is educative.
It’s left to me to gain knowledge and build skills.
And also, lifelong learning is not just about schooling, i can also a vocational skills.

This is insightful!
I think AI has more positive impact than it’s demerits.
This is quite insightful.
As far as there are innovations, there will always be a positive and negative impact but the determinant of which impact will always be the individual.
I learnt something today.
Thank you.
This is so enlightening! The ball is in my court to gain knowledge and build skills. To as well, build a solid learning system for children.
