The call was made by Hon. Nyombi Thembo, the Executive Director of Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) while delivering a keynote speech at the 15th Graduation Ceremony of St. Lawrence University, Rubaga Kampala on Thursday. Nyombi and other leaders stressed the importance of integrating technology and AI into education, promoting innovation and critical thinking, and fostering skills like adaptability and ethical leadership to create a future-ready workforce.

Hon. Nyombi Thembo emphasized government commitment to AI-powered education, and revealed that initiatives were in place to ensure all educational institutions benefit from AI advancements, which will enhance teaching and learning experiences across the country.

A total of 436 graduated at St. Lawrence University’s 15th graduation ceremony. The University Academic Registrar, Ruth Mirembe Sseninde disclosed that of the 436 graduates, 227 (52%) were male graduates, while 209 (48%) were females. The best-performing students, Patricia Nakiranda, who attained a CGPA of 4.99 in Bachelor’s of Business Administration and Management, and Ssentamu Alvin Yawe from the Faculty of Science and Technology, who scored 4.78 CGPA, were recognized for their outstanding academic excellence, and each received a UGX500,000 cheque for their remarkable performance.

The event, which focused on the theme “Embracing Artificial Intelligence in Contemporary Higher Education,” underscored the growing role of AI in academia, research, and professional fields.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the Vice President of Uganda and Chancellor of St. Lawrence University, H.E. Maj (Rtd) Jessica Alupo, highlighted AI’s role in shaping industries, economics, and global thought processes. She reminded graduates that while AI is a powerful tool, it must be embraced responsibly.

“Artificial intelligence brings both opportunities and challenges. As you enter the workforce, you must navigate these dynamics ethically, ensuring AI serves humanity rather than replacing it,” VP Alupo stated.

Dr. Charles W. Masaba, the universty Vice Chancellor said that AI is revolutionizing research, education, and administration by enabling data-driven decisions, automated learning processes, and improved service delivery, urging graduates to explore AI’s potential while recognizing its limitations.

“AI is not merely a technological advancement; it is a paradigm shift impacting how we approach higher education. Our graduates must embrace AI responsibly while using it to improve efficiency and innovation,” he said.

The Vice Chancellor revealed the ongoing university investments in AI research, to facilitate quality teaching and learning in the university among other operations.

“St. Lawrence University has partnered with RENU to enhance internet connectivity, ensuring the institution remains at the forefront of AI-driven education,” he said.

Similarly, Dr. Masaba challenged graduates to use their education to shape a better future and transform their communities.

“The skills you have acquired, combined with your understanding of AI, will make you invaluable assets in the workforce. The future is yours to shape—embrace it, learn from it, and lead with wisdom and innovation,” he said.

Conversely, Msgr. John Wynand Katende warned that AI should be a tool for growth, not a replacement for human intellect. He encouraged graduates to prioritize creativity and innovation through their intellect rather than solely depending on artificial intelligence. The Monsignor acknowledged the importance of AI, but warned against its potential drawbacks, including laziness and increased unemployment.

“While AI enhances efficiency, it should not replace human intellect. Instead, graduates should use technology as a tool while prioritizing independent thinking and problem-solving,” he urged.

The ceremony also saw the recognition of the first cohort of DJs and Emcees trained under the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT), as well as community members trained in performing arts and entrepreneurship.
