Sam George tasks KNUST to develop Twi AI model as Ghana plans local-language artificial intelligence

The Minister says AI models built in Europe or America will not work for Ghana because they cannot capture the true meaning of Ghanaian languages."One of the key things that AI will do, if we are not careful, is that it will create an extinction of our indigenous African languages.

He said the government wants voice-enabled AI that farmers can interact with in Twi, Ga, Ewe, Dagbani and other local languages, and plans to use the same technology, combined with the newly deployed 5G spectrum, to deliver services like telemedicine to remote communities.
