However, we must understand both its advantages and risks. This knowledge will help teachers guide students in using AI safely and responsibly,\u201d Mr. Appiah said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Emmanuel Adinkrah, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of GISF, said the world stood at a pivotal moment in its fight to protect children in the digital space as technology advances, so do the threats against the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cOnline Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (OCSEA) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) were pressing issues that demand urgent and innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI presents us with a powerful tool to detect, prevent, and respond to these dangers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said by harnessing AI-driven solutions, they could better safeguard children, identify threats in real time, and support law enforcement in holding perpetrators accountable.<\/p>\n<p>However, technology alone is not enough, we must also empower those on the frontlines: our teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Adinkrah said educators play a critical role in shaping a safe digital future for Ghanaian children that was why GISF was committed to equipping teachers with the knowledge, skills, and AI-powered tools needed to detect early warning signs, educate students on digital safety, and create a secure learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, through strategic collaboration, capacity-building, and responsible AI implementation, we can turn the tide against online exploitation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Sade Dada, Head of Public Policy for Anglophone West Africa at Meta, reaffirmed the tech company\u2019s dedication to ensuring a safe online experience for all users.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeta is committed to fostering a safer digital environment. Through our free online safety program, My Digital World, we have trained over 100,000 users,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized Meta\u2019s collaborations with key stakeholders, including GISF, to create a positive impact in digital space.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative continues to make significant strides in shaping a digitally literate and responsible teaching community in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>By equipping educators with vital skills in AI and online safety, GISF is fostering a safer, more knowledgeable digital future for students across the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ghana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
