By 2028, Samuel Nartey George, the Minister-designate for Communications, Digitalization, and Innovation, has promised to establish Ghana as Africa's preeminent artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouse.

He described his vision for Ghana's AI ecosystem in remarks made at his vetting on Thursday, January 30, 2025.

In order to guarantee that Ghana not only takes part in the AI revolution but also assumes a leading position, he emphasized the necessity of close cooperation between government organizations, members of the private sector, and international tech companies.

“AI in 2025 is like Bitcoin in 2013,” he stated.

“President John Mahama has a clear vision on his AI policy, and we are going to take the current AI strategy that was developed by the previous government, review it, and make it fit for purpose by engaging industry to ensure that Ghana becomes the hub for artificial intelligence on the African continent.

“We are going to do this by making sure that our innovation hubs as promised in our manifesto are executed, and then we will introduce AI on top of big data that we are taking, and Ghana will become the hub for AI, machine learning, cyber security, data analytics, and data processing on the African continent.”
