The brains behind the initiative stressed that the innovative tool would support educators, writers, and creatives in crafting engaging and effective learning experiences.
The forum with the theme, “GMIND 2.0: Revolutionizing AI Accessibility,” however, appealed to the government to invest in infrastructure enabling access to the internet and computers, especially in hard-to-reach communities across Nigeria.
Speaking at the grand unveiling of the GMIND AI 2.0, at Gotocourse Digital Literacy Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State, the founder and CEO of Gotocourse, Dr Success noted that GMIND AI 2.0 aimed to bridge the AI divide and empower everyone to harness the power of AI.

The founder and CEO of Cherithpoint Education and Youth Development Initiative, Mrs Olajumoke Akere acknowledged Gotocourse’s achievement, stating, “GMIND AI 2.0’s potential to transform the way we create, innovate, and envision the future.”
