Prepared Or Unprepared? Evaluating Healthcare Workforce Readiness for Clinical Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The study surveyed 761 Nigerian healthcare professionals to assess their readiness for AI adoption in clinical settings. While 92.6% were aware of AI, only 63.0% felt prepared and 40.9% reported low knowledge, highlighting a gap between awareness and readiness. Major barriers identified were lack of training, poor infrastructure, high costs, job displacement fears, ethical and data privacy concerns, with significant regional and professional differences in preparedness and attitudes.

Improving Rural Medication Safety with AI: A Scoping Review

The scoping review examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is applied across all stages of medication management in rural healthcare settings, from prescribing to post-administration monitoring. It identifies four main themes: the types of AI used, the medication phases impacted, the effectiveness in reducing errors, and rural-specific challenges such as infrastructure and alert fatigue. Studies show machine‑learning surveillance can cut prescribing and transcription errors by 34% to 80%, yet barriers like governance gaps, funding limits, and clinician resistance remain.

Education-centered critical policy analysis of AI: Ghana's AI strategy as a case

The article applies an Education-Centered AI Policy Framework to Ghana’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025‑2035, examining six key components such as teacher agency, curriculum, and responsible AI. It finds the strategy ambitious in promoting AI literacy, youth skills, and rural outreach, yet it falls short on school‑level implementation, teacher preparation, and culturally responsive pedagogy. The authors highlight concerns about transparency, coherence, and the need for a sector‑specific policy that links workforce readiness with classroom practice and learner protection.
