Educate public about benefits of Artificial Intelligence …Journalists told

Journalists have been urged to educate the public about Artificial Intelligence (AI), its benefits, limitations and potential risks to promote informed and responsible use of the technology.

The Chief Executive Officer of minoHealth AI, Darlington Akogo who made the call, said journalists had a crucial role in explaining AI in simple terms to ensure that people from all walks of life understood and benefited from the technology.

“Journalists have a crucial role in explaining AI in simple terms so that people from all walks of life can understand and benefit from the technology,” he said.

He was speaking at the opening of the UK Media Excellence for Emerging Technologies (UK MEET) Fellowship in Accra, where 30 journalists were being trained in emerging technologies.

He said AI could support healthcare delivery by augmenting the work of doctors, particularly in countries such as Ghana, where the number of medical professionals was limited.

However, he stressed that AI was not perfect and that the public needed to understand both its potential benefits and the challenges associated with its use.
