Government is to develop a data exchange hub, a centralised platform to unify all data sources to serve as the backbone of the country's Artificial Intelligence (AI) drive, the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Mr Samuel Nartey George, has disclosed.

According to him the development of the data exchange hub would not only help address the issue of data fragmentation across various institu­tions in the country, but would also help improve the economy.

The Minister disclosed this in a speech read on his behalf by the Director General of the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT, Dr Collins Yeboah-Afari, at the opening of the maiden Ghana AI Summit and Awards in Accra yesterday. ????????????????????????????????????
