2024 Independent Presidential hopeful, Kofi Koranteng has highlighted the need to absorb the new Artificial Intelligence into our curriculum as part of the teaching syllabus to catch up with global education.
He made this comment during an interview with Ghana Universities Journal, a group of tertiary students grouped on social media platforms to engage industry players, stakeholders, and government and offer constructive criticism and solutions to impact the generation.
His comment was in response to a question as to whether he will support the introduction of AI in education when he takes the mantle as the next first gentleman of the land.
The vociferous aspirant asserted the introduction of AI will help automate certain tasks in governance and provide real-time insights and solutions.
“AI can help organizations make faster and more informed decisions. This can be particularly valuable in high-stakes environments, where decisions must be made quickly and accurately to prevent costly errors or save lives. This will help to cut down the oversize government to ten ministers with nine cabinet ministers in my government”, he said.
Mr. Koranteng further shared his visions on education, youth empowerment, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
He thanked the leadership of the Ghana Universities Journal for putting up such a platform for students to elaborate on the national agenda.
He assured his government will prioritize and empower the youth to take an active role in leadership and governance.
“I’m grateful to the leadership for such initiative, this is truly what we must invest into, the future is in your hands, and must take our destiny into our hands and take control of our future”, he added.
