That is not a problem. That is a crisis. And it is the single biggest obstacle to Ghana’s ambitious plan to triple renewable energy from 4 percent to 10 percent by the end of this year and reach 30 percent by 2035. You can…

In the early hours of the morning at many of Ghana’s major hospitals, scenes of overcrowding have become all too familiar.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has provoked widespread debate about its implications for the future of work, creativity, ethics, and humanity itself. However, one irrefutable truth stands tall: AI is the creation of human ingenuity.

Rather than a wholesale replacement, AI serves as a tool to augment human capability, only replacing those who resist adaptation. With compelling global examples, expert opinions, and empirical data, this paper defends the…
