NAIROBI, Kenya and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Daystar University, one of Kenya’s premier private Christian liberal arts institutions, and MindHYVE.ai, Inc., a global innovator in artificial intelligence, have entered into a landmark partnership to embed ArthurAI™, MindHYVE’s agentic AI learning platform, across Daystar’s academic ecosystem.

This partnership positions Daystar as one of the first universities in East Africa to implement a comprehensive AI-powered learning environment at scale — directly addressing the needs of Kenya’s over 500,000 higher education students, many of whom face challenges of access, personalization, and outcomes.

ArthurAI by the Numbers: Transforming Learning and Teaching

ArthurAI has already demonstrated significant measurable impact in academic environments:

• 80% reduction in curriculum preparation time – allowing faculty to shift focus from administrative tasks to mentorship, research, and innovation.
• Adaptive learning pathways – dynamically tailoring coursework to each student’s cognitive profile, learning style, and pace.
• Predictive analytics for student success – enabling early identification of at-risk learners and targeted interventions that raise completion and retention rates.
• Multilingual delivery in 10+ languages – critical in Kenya’s diverse linguistic landscape, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility.
• Mobile-first and offline capability – extending Daystar’s reach beyond classrooms, supporting equitable access even in bandwidth-limited environments.

“ArthurAI will not only enhance our classrooms — it will redefine them,” said Professor Martha Kiarie, Dean of the School of Science, Engineering and Health at Daystar University. “By leveraging adaptive intelligence, we can ensure every student is supported according to their unique learning needs. This is how we prepare our graduates to thrive in an AI-enabled global economy.”

Bill Faruki, CEO & Founder of MindHYVE.ai, added:

“ArthurAI isn’t a theory — it’s a proven system already delivering measurable gains. Partnering with Daystar allows us to show how Africa’s universities can leapfrog legacy systems and lead the world in responsible, scalable AI education.”

The rollout begins this semester across selected departments and will progressively expand to reach Daystar’s entire academic community. Quarterly reviews will measure student engagement, faculty adoption, and institutional outcomes — ensuring continuous improvement and maximum impact.

The Oxford Union has “unequivocally” condemned comments apparently made by its president-elect about the fatal shooting of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk in the US.

Kirk, 31, was killed at a Utah Valley University show on Wednesday in what authorities have called a political assassination.

George Abaraonye, who became president-elect of the debating society after a vote in June, posted comments in a WhatsApp group after his death, according to the Daily Telegraph.

One message was reported to have said “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s fucking go”, while another thought to have been posted on Abaraonye’s Instagram account read “Charlie Kirk got shot loool”.

In a statement on Thursday, the Oxford Union criticised the student’s comments and said it “firmly opposes all forms of political violence and strongly stands by our commitment to free speech and considerate debate”.

“The Oxford Union would like to unequivocally condemn the reported words and sentiments expressed by its president-elect, George Abaraonye, with regards to the passing of Charlie Kirk,” the society wrote on X. “His reported views do not represent the Oxford Union’s current leadership or committee’s view.

“The current administration has, under president Moosa Harraj, no association with and is entirely independent from Mr Abaraonye’s administration.”

The statement added: “We would like to reiterate that our condolences lie with Charlie Kirk’s family, especially his wife and young children, who are enduring such terrible grief.”

Kirk and Abaraonye had met during a debate on toxic masculinity held by the Oxford Union in May, the Telegraph reported. Donald Trump, the US president, paid tribute to Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom” after the shooting.

THE ARMY UNIVERSITY, FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kansas – In late July 2025, the Advanced Military Studies Program at the School of Advanced Military Studies, known as SAMS, launched its first-ever experimental, three-day, Practical Application of Artificial Intelligence module.

The mission was simple: transform the program with an innovative, hands-on AI learning experience for students and faculty. The purpose was to enable warfighter lethality through AI education and training.

“AI is changing the character of warfare. Our graduates have got to be ready to lead formations powered by AI—and that’s why we did something about it,” Col. Dwight Domengeaux, Director, SAMS said.

Dr. Bruce Stanley, Director, AMSP, envisioned a module that pushed institutional norms about how mid-career officers learn about AI and learn with AI.

“Did we accept risk? Yes. We did—to create a critical learning opportunity for our students,” Stanley remarked. “We knew what was at stake, and we trusted our faculty and students to make it work.”

And make it work they did.

According to AMSP faculty, the module’s experimental instructional design was key, consisting of ten-and-a-half hours of total classroom contact time divided over three lessons.

“We covered a lot of ground with our students in three days,” Dr. Jacob Mauslein, associate professor, AMSP, said. “Subjects ranged from AI theory and ethical considerations of AI, to applying AI tools, and leading AI-enabled organizations.”

A novel feature of the module was that it was developed by AMSP students. As a task in their Future Operational Environment course, six students from the Class of 2025, mentored by two faculty, developed the AI module that would be taught to the Class of 2026. The students’ final draft was adopted almost without change by the faculty.

“Incorporating students as full participants in the process allowed us to co-develop lesson objectives and materials that deeply mattered to them,” Dr. Luke Herrington, one of the faculty leads for the module shared.

Meeting students where they were in terms of their AI skills and then taking them to the next level was part of the academic approach for the AI module, Herrington explained.

Maj. Justin Webb, PhD, an AY 2025 AMSP student, and one of the module’s developers explained it this way: “SAMS is a warfighting school—so we chose learning activities that would help us become more lethal warfighters with AI. Using AI tools like CamoGPT, Ask Sage, and others for several hours over three days helped us get there.”
Some students in the AY 2026 class were initially skeptical of using AI.

“At first, I didn’t know what I didn’t know,” Army Maj. Stuart Allgood, an Armor officer SAMS student said. “But by the end of the first day my thinking about AI had changed. After the second day, I could use AI tools I had never even heard of.”

Maj. Callum Knight, an intelligence officer from the United Kingdom summed up his experience.

“Before this course I viewed AI as just a data point,” Knight said. “Now that I’ve experienced what’s possible with AI, I realize it’s an imperative that is going to impact everything I do going forward.”

So, what’s next for AI at SAMS?

“Based on what our students got out of this, we intend to add more AI learning moments across the program,” Stanley said. “The priority now is to integrate AI into our upcoming operational warfare practical exercise.”

AMSP is one of the three distinct academic programs within SAMS.

The other two SAMS programs are the Advanced Strategic Leadership Studies Program or ASLSP – a Senior Service College equivalent, and, the Advanced Strategic Planning and Policy Program or ASP3 also known as the Goodpaster Scholars—a post-graduate degree program.
