Hands-on AI tip: before asking a chatbot to summarise a long report, paste in the audience and the decision it supports. 'Summarise for a hospital board deciding on a pilot' beats 'summarise this' every time. Context first, then the task.
Staring at a blank chat box? Start from a structured prompt, then adapt it to your own documents. The Digi Prompt Library is free: 3,000 searchable prompts across six categories, tagged by difficulty.
The Bank of Ghana is drafting a directive on AI in financial services, aiming for responsible experimentation with governance across the AI lifecycle. Practical step for any Ghanaian bank or fintech now: list every model in use, name an owner for each, and note what data feeds it.
Most AI pilots in African organisations stall for the same reason: nobody owns the outcome. Before you pick a tool, name one owner, one process and one number that should move in 60 days. If you can't, the pilot isn't ready.
Training sticks when it is built on a team's own documents. Bring the real procurement policy, the real customer emails, the real report template. People leave having already done a piece of their job faster, which beats any generic demo.
Hands-on AI tip: before asking a chatbot to draft anything, name the audience and the decision. 'Write a board update' gets waffle. 'Write 150 words for a board deciding whether to extend our pilot' gets something usable.
Just won an award as Ghana's Most Respected CEO in Digital Transformation at the Ghana Industry CEO Awards. It's been a tough but satisfying journey.

AI models learn from data. Biased data creates biased AI output. We must use diverse and fair data sets to build responsible AI. How can we reduce AI bias? #AIEthics #ResponsibleAI
I took the beautiful picture at a serene location in Ghana. I guess this is the best picture that I have ever taken.
Don't let AI take over your thinking. You're the director, AI is the intern. Use it as a tool, but never forget to use your own brain. #AI #FutureOfWork #CriticalThinking
