President John Mahama revealed that the government will not allow technological disruption to marginalise workers but will instead equip them to take leading roles in an AI-driven future.
Speaking at the launch of the National AI Strategy on Friday, April 24, the president stated, “We don’t intend to surrender our people to technological disruption; we intend to prepare them to lead in it.”
President Mahama further noted that Ghana will adopt a human-centred, inclusive, and responsible model for AI development that balances efficiency with resilience, sustainability, and respect for human dignity.
“We will pursue a human-centred, inclusive and responsible model of adoption, consistent with industry values, emphasising not only efficiency but also resilience, sustainability and the centrality of the human person,” he added.
This follows government’s commitment to addressing these concerns and ensuring that AI enhances, rather than undermines, human potential.
