I’m Niall McNulty, Product Lead (AI) at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, based in Cape Town. I design and deliver AI programmes for ministries and education organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf and Latin America, and I’m completing an MEd at UCT on how African teachers use AI in their own contexts.
Selected work is on the Work page: AI-assisted publishing for a national ministry, UNICEF/GPE’s Digital Education Leadership Programme, KFAS / KHDA / ADEK, and the accredited Designing Assessments with AI course.
