AI Takes the Streets”: Global AI Community Sends Artificial Intelligence Outdoors
In an era where technology and ICT education continue to shape development, a global organization known as Global AI Community has introduced an initiative dubbed “AI to the Streets” aimed at training young people to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real-life situations.
The conference, held at the Kofi Annan Center of Excellence in ICT, brought together tech enthusiasts, students, and professionals to explore ways that AI can enhance productivity and create employment opportunities.
Speaking at the event, Rev. Dr. Nii London Sowah, a computer engineer at the University of Ghana, described the “AI to the Streets” project as a game changer in the educational and employment sectors. He emphasized that empowering the youth with AI skills would not only prepare them for the future of work but also contribute to national development.
Rev. Dr. Sowah further highlighted the importance of ICT applications in solving societal problems and urged participants to leverage the knowledge gained for the collective benefit of the community.
A participant who benefited from the conference shared his experience, stating that the training had broadened his understanding of AI and its potential benefits. As a software engineer, he expressed appreciation for the hands-on sessions and pledged to apply the knowledge acquired through the training in his professional field.
The Global AI Community’s initiative is expected to bridge the gap between technology education and practical application, equipping young people with the tools needed to thrive in the fast-evolving digital world.
