Can AI Solve Ghana's Problems?

A critical assessment of human-centred AI, institutional capacity and public-sector deployment

Read this research overview here. The original coursework essay will be added to the site once its source file is available.

Research question

When does AI meaningfully solve a public problem, and when does it only solve the computational part of that problem?

The argument

AI can improve prediction, diagnosis and decision support, but technical capability does not remove behavioural and institutional constraints. Responsible adoption requires human oversight, local data, governance capacity and accountable institutions.

Approach

Critical assessment of human-centred AI arguments, read alongside Ghana's National AI Strategy, public-sector governance questions and technical literature on AI capability.

Why it matters

Public-sector AI policy, responsible deployment, AI readiness, digital transformation and technological sovereignty in African contexts.

This is an on-site research overview drawn from the MA portfolio, not the full original essay. Collaborative work is marked as group research.
