The Open University of Kenya (OUK) and MindHYVE.ai, Inc., a U.S.-based artificial intelligence company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic collaboration focused on advancing AI-powered learning enablement and academic innovation.
The collaboration explores the integration of ArthurAI™, MindHYVE.ai’s proprietary agentic artificial intelligence system, into selected areas of OUK’s digital learning ecosystem.
