  "summary": "Professor Eric Appau Asante, the Artificial Intelligence Coordinator at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has urged teachers and educators to embrace AI and develop structured approaches to harness its benefits in teaching, learning, and research. He emphasized that rapid adoption of AI among students is outpacing the preparedness of educational institutions, leaving structured, supervised, and research-informed use as the only viable choice. At the National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), Asante addressed the topic \"Transforming Research-Based Teacher Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities, Challenges and The Future of Teacher Preparation in Ghana,\" emphasizing the need for teacher education to respond deliberately to ensure technology supports, rather than dictates, pedagogy.",
