University of Ghana bemoans delay in AI curricula approval

Professor Isaac Wiafe, a computer scientist at the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, says the delay in approving Artificial Intelligence (AI) curricula developed by research institutions is a disincentive to advancing the nation’s AI Strategy.

Wiafe was speaking on the topic: “Why AI is Irrelevant to Ghana: Reclaiming our Future through Human-Centred Transformation”The lecture focused on emerging evidence from studies on technology adoption, digital inclusion, and AI awareness.

The computer scientist said Ghana’s ability to achieve a breakthrough in AI technologies that reflected society’s needs and aspirations “cannot be achieved with the current delays in curriculum approval by GTEC”.
