The creator of this ingenious invention is Dacod Magagula. Dacod Magagula attended an under resourced school in Mbombela. When he was in Grade 7 or 8 he transferred to a school with laptops and internet connection, this uncovered his love for computers. It was then that Magagula was inspired to create an invention that could help underprivileged students. Magagula believes creating FoondaMate is a significant accomplishment.
There are a lot of pros about AI: they help in repetitive jobs; available 24/7; faster decision making. As well as those there are also a lot of cons; they cost a lot to make; may make humans lazy; AI do not have creativity. In conclusion AI has a lot of potential but also must not be used for the wrong reason. Who knows what the future holds for AI?
