• Abstract: Recent AI advancements offer transformative potential for global education, yet their application often overlooks Africa's unique educational landscape. AfricAIED 2024 will address this gap, spotlighting efforts to develop AI in Education (AIED) systems tailored to Africa's needs. Building on the success of the inaugural workshop, AfricAIED 2024 will feature an online AI Hackathon focused on democratizing preparation for Ghana's National Science & Maths Quiz (NSMQ). Participants will create open-source AI tools leveraging resources from the Brilla AI project to level the academic playing field and enhance science and math education across Africa. The workshop will showcase top competitors' solutions, invite discussions on AIED opportunities and challenges in Africa, and highlight the latest advancements in AI education integration. AfricAIED 2024 aims to foster collaboration and innovation, amplifying African voices in the AIED community and driving positive change in African education through AI.

  Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole. AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access. Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.

• Unpacking the "Black Box" of AI in Education [0.0]
  We seek to clarify what "AI" is and the potential it holds to both advance and hamper educational opportunities that may improve the human condition. We offer a basic introduction to different methods and philosophies underpinning AI, discuss recent advances, explore applications to education, and highlight key limitations and risks. Our hope is to make often jargon-laden terms and concepts accessible, so that all are equipped to understand, interrogate, and ultimately shape the development of human centered AI in education.
