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

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? AI allows a computer to think, act, and respond almost as if it was a human. 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 ...

Artificial Intelligence shouldn’t widen gender gap – Expert warns

Artificial Intelligence shouldn’t widen gender gap – Expert warns

International, Science & Technology
According to the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), women farmers in Ghana constitute nearly half of the country’s crop producers. However, they battle with a myriad of challenges including a lack of land ownership and limited access to finance, inputs and markets and a lack of political voice as compared to their male counterparts. With the accelerated use of Artificial Intelligence in agriculture, the Gender and Inclusivity officer of the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Lab at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (RAIL-KNUST), Dr. Rita Udor anticipates a worsening situation. She is therefore warning of female exclusion with the use of Artificial Intelligence in the agriculture sector. “As we think of AI in the agric sector, I...

Ghana school students talk about their social media addiction, and how it affects their use of English

Ghana News, Lifestyle & Social, Science & Technology
Social media networks such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube and Instagram have been shown to have significantly transformed student behaviour. But the focus has been on students’ social behaviour. And on how the English language is being spoken because of social media use. The relationship between social media and students’ English language writing has been largely ignored. Our team of four researchers who specialize in language studies set out to study the relationship between social media use and English language performance. We studied one English as a Second Language class at Fiaseman Senior High School in Tarkwa, western Ghana.
