Dr Zanetor urges human oversight of AI in journalism, music industry

Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the Minister of Environment, Science and Technology in Ghana, has called for stronger human oversight and safeguards in the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in journalism and the music industry. She emphasized that the rapid advancement of AI requires society to consider how the technology should be governed to protect human judgement, professional accountability, and the integrity of creative work.

Dr Agyeman-Rawlings made this call at the closing ceremony of the 2026 UK Media Excellence for Emerging Technologies (UK MEET) Fellowship in Accra, urging stakeholders to consider appropriate rules and human oversight to prevent the misuse of AI, especially in sensitive areas where errors or failures could have serious consequences.
