President John Dramani Mahama has launched Ghana’s National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy, outlining a bold vision to position the country as a leading AI hub in West Africa and across the continent.
He emphasised that the defining question for Ghana is not whether AI will shape the future, but how the nation will shape its use in line with its values, priorities, and development aspirations. The President stressed that Government is committed to preparing Ghanaians to lead in the era of technological transformation, not be displaced by it.
Highlighting a people-centred approach, he announced plans to invest in upskilling and reskilling the public sector workforce, while supporting workers across all sectors to adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy. He further noted that Ghana’s AI agenda is already being translated into concrete policy actions and implementation frameworks.
President Mahama also revealed that the strategy will be rolled out over a 10-year period, guided by clear targets and disciplined execution, with a Responsible Artificial Intelligence Office to be established to drive coordination and oversight.
He underscored that transformation must go beyond rhetoric, insisting on measurable, accountable, and results-oriented outcomes that deliver real impact for citizens.
The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, reaffirmed Government’s commitment to strengthening digital infrastructure, including ongoing investments in 4G and 5G connectivity, to support AI-driven innovation nationwide.
