Benefits to Quaternary industries
Quaternary industries are focused on knowledge creation and dissemination. Educational institutions and individuals can benefit from the vast amount of knowledge and information generated in these industries. Quaternary industries often collaborate with educational institutions to enhance research, development, and knowledge sharing. These collaborations can take the form of joint research projects, industry-academia partnerships, internships, and guest lectures. Such collaborations provide students and educators with exposure to real-world applications, industry best practices, and opportunities for practical learning. Educational institutions can partner with Quaternary industries to develop curriculum content, design training modules, and provide students with practical learning experiences.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
The use of AI in the learning arena does have its uses. Biometrics and facial recognition are already utilised in some places for verifying exam candidates and taking roll-call. These systems may also be able to collect data on online interactions and behaviour to see how learners are reacting to content and identify what may be better used to encourage their interest and focus. This technology may also be able to reduce the workload on educators by automating certain tasks like grading and offering guidance and discussion through chatbots. I will be working in the education industry.
