Africa risks widening inequality if it fails to build AI expertise – Kweku Awotwi

Mr Awotwi urged Ghana and other African countries to develop the human capacity, data infrastructure and policy frameworks required to ensure that the continent was not left behind as AI continued to reshape the global economy.

Mr Awotwi said education was one of the areas where Ghana needed to confront the rapid development of AI rather than attempt to keep the technology out of classrooms.

Mr Awotwi said Africa faced a major challenge because it lacked sufficient expertise and data to influence the development of AI systems.
