We face, urgently, the necessity to embrace AI, and make the best out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, in a welcome address, said Ghana was committed to working with other African countries and development partners across the world to fund Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana, and several other African countries are looking to collaborate with development partners such as the IMF, World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB) among others to provide funding, technical and implementation support for AI projects as well as the development of national AI strategies tailored to our unique needs,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He said such collaboration would ensure that the continent took advantage of the numerous opportunities presented by AI to drive sustainable development and economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that AI presented a huge economic opportunity to the continent, he said that could contribute up to US$15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, of which US$1.2 trillion could be generated in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that \u201cwe will aim to incorporate accountability, responsibility, and transparency principles and push for stronger and ethical regulation of AI systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he called on governments, the private sector, development partners and academia, to continue to prioritise working together in a growing world of AI.<\/p>\n<p>That, he stated, would ensure the continent unlocked an independent, wealthy future for Africa where technology removed the obstacles that precluded its people, and helped nations to realise their economic potentials to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p>Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, also noted that the power of AI could transform societies, and asked African governments to invest more to provide connectivity across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, several initiatives, including a digitised national identity card (Ghana card), digital addressing system had been developed in Ghana, while fibre connectivity\u00a0had also been extended.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Samuel Boadi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristalina Georgieva (3rd R), Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam (2nd L), Ursula Owusu-Ekuful (3rd R) with otherconference speakers \u00a0 Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, has urged African governments to embrace and integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) effectively in various fields to ensure quick economic development and resilience.
