Dr.
Stephen Moore, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and Co-founder of Ghana Natural Language Processing, has cautioned against blind reliance on AI tools like ChatGPT.
Speaking at the Rethink Africa Convo held at the University of Ghana under the theme "Generation AI: Optimizing the New Age" on March 21, 2025, Dr.
Moore emphasized the need for critical thinking when using AI-generated information. "I use ChatGPT to get a lot of ideas, especially on how to teach certain concepts and kinds of stuff, and sometimes I even tell students, 'This is excised, go and use ChatGPT to do it because I have used it and I know that the answer is not correct, but use it and after that, do your own thing and compare the answers.' "Just for students to know that ChatGPT is not factual ground and everything it is producing is not exactly 100% truthful because it can give you some rubbish as well," he said.
