Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) will likely reshape Africa's accounting education system. The paper examines how AI can revolutionise accounting education and the readiness of African countries. A systematic literature review approach was adopted. The paper finds that the development and deployment of AI in Africa are still in their nascent stages. Nonetheless, the paper established that AI could enhance learning experiences through personalised learning, improve assessments, enhance skills development, and provide real-time feedback to educators and students. However, AI raises serious concerns about data privacy and protection, as well as the readiness of educators to embrace AI-enabled accounting education. The paper recommends integrating AI into the accounting curriculum, training and upskilling educators and collaborating with the industry to promote AI development and deployment in Africa.
