Strive to enter the military with degree or professional certificates, MP urges youth

Strive to enter the military with degree or professional certificates, MP urges youth

Ghana News
A Minister of State at the Office of the President, Dr Freda Prempeh, has urged the youth desiring to pursue a life career in the military and other security services to first obtain degrees or related professional certificates.  She said the need for them to remain patient and concentrate on their studies as a matter of priority because, “it is better to wait and obtain professional certificates before you apply than to join the forces without certificate.”   This, according to her, would delay one’s promotion and thus make one an ordinary soldier.  “The military is always ready for you, so prepare yourself well,” Dr Prempeh advised. Dr Prempeh, also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North Constituency and a Member of the Interior Committee of Parliamen...

What is AI, is it dangerous and what jobs are at risk?

Science & Technology, World News
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is developing at high speed and is transforming many aspects of modern life. However, some experts fear that it could be used for malicious purposes, and may threaten jobs. What is AI and how does it work?

Computers can be fed huge amounts of information and trained to identify the patterns in it, in order to make predictions, solve problems, and even learn from their own mistakes. As well as data, AI relies on algorithms – lists of rules which must be followed in the correct order to complete a task. The technology is behind the voice-controlled virtual assistants Siri and Alexa. It lets Spotify, YouTube and BBC iPlayer suggest what you might want to play ...
