JOEL TIAGO RESEARCH

AI research in Namibia

Research, evidence reviews and working papers on artificial intelligence in Namibia, by Joel Tiago in Windhoek.

I turn discussions from The AI Focus on NBC’s Business Today into source-linked articles and working papers. Each completed companion combines the broadcast, supporting presentation material and an evidence record. My focus is what AI claims mean for people, education and practical adoption in Namibia, with questions relevant to other African settings.

AI in Namibian education

Tutoring, teacher support and local-language learning, with 14 assessments and a revised working paper.

Understanding artificial intelligence

AI concepts, generative AI and general intelligence, with twelve assessments and author clarifications.
