President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized that the government will not permit technological disruption to marginalize workers; rather, it will empower them to assume prominent roles in a future driven by AI.
During the launch of the National AI Strategy on Friday, April 24, the President remarked, “We do not plan to abandon our people to technological disruption; we aim to equip them to lead in this domain.”
President Mahama highlighted that Ghana will implement a human-centered, inclusive, and responsible approach to AI development—one that harmonizes efficiency with resilience, sustainability, and respect for human dignity.
He stressed that government policy will focus on utilizing Artificial Intelligence as a means to enhance human capabilities instead of replacing them.
“We will adopt a human-centered, inclusive, and responsible model of implementation, aligned with industry values, highlighting not only efficiency but also resilience, sustainability, and the importance of the human individual,” he stated.
He reiterated that the government is dedicated to tackling these issues and ensuring that AI is leveraged to augment, rather than diminish, human potential.
