Abstract
This qualitative research paper using complex adaptive systems (CAS) examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in advancing competence assurance in the African energy industry, through the review of literatures of past research. The paper explores the history of AI and ML techniques, their application in learning, developing competence and assurance, challenges and limitations, and emerging technologies. Key findings highlight how AI and ML accelerate competence assurance, optimizing production processes, and enhance quality control. Emerging technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality and AI integration with experimental techniques are discussed. The implications for the future underscore the profound impact of AI and ML on competence assurance, enabling faster assurance processes, efficient production, and competent knowledge repository.
