Let's work to create our own AI modules— Misbawu Abdulai to gov't

In a bold call to action, Misbawu Abdulai, President of Africa Youth in AI, has urged the government of Ghana to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) modules tailored to the country's specific needs.
Speaking with Emmanuel Akomene Acheampong on Good Morning Taadi, a flagship morning show on Taadi FM, Abdulai emphasised the potential of AI to drive innovation, development, and economic growth in Ghana.
According to Abdulai, the development of AI modules would enable Ghana to harness the transformative power of AI, enhancing productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness in various industries.
He highlighted the importance of creating tailored AI solutions to address specific challenges in Ghana's sectors, such as education, healthcare, and agriculture.
"We believe that with the right investment and support, Ghana can become a hub for AI innovation in the region, driving economic growth and improving the lives of our people," Abdulai said.
By working with stakeholders, the government can unlock the full potential of AI, promoting economic growth, job creation, and improved living standards for Ghanaians.
However, Abdulai also cautioned that AI's benefits can only be fully realised if it is developed and used responsibly.
"It's crucial that we ensure AI doesn't fall into the wrong hands," he emphasised.
"We need to establish robust frameworks to regulate AI development and deployment, safeguarding against potential misuse and protecting the public interest."
The development of AI modules would also build local expertise and capacity, positioning Ghana as a leader in AI innovation in the region.
As Ghana explores ways to leverage technology, Abdulai's statement highlights the growing recognition of AI's role in shaping the future of work and development in the country.
As the country embarks on this ambitious initiative, Abdulai's words serve as a reminder that collaboration, innovation, and responsible development will be crucial in unlocking Ghana's full potential in AI.
With a collective effort, Ghana can harness the power of AI to drive sustainable development and create a brighter future for its citizens.
