Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced Cabinet approval of Ghana’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.
The policy framework is designed to build local AI capacity while embedding fairness, transparency and accountability in the deployment of artificial intelligence systems.
Speaking at the Data Protection Conference 2026 in Accra under the theme, “Your Data, Your Identity: Building Trust in Ghana’s Digital Future,” Sam George disclosed that the strategy will be launched in the coming weeks by President John Dramani Mahama.
He added that, government is also developing an Emerging Technologies Framework to ensure responsible regulation of artificial intelligence and other digital platforms.
“The National AI Strategy has been approved by cabinet last week and will be launched in a few weeks by His Excellency. Work is progressing on our Emerging Technologies Framework which will provide structured oversight for Artificial Intelligence systems, advanced analytics, digital assets and new digital platforms.
