Former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, has addressed concerns about Artificial Intelligence (AI) displacing millions of jobs
Former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, has addressed concerns about Artificial Intelligence displacing millions of jobs, just as he emphasised the importance of skill acquisition and modern tools.
“In the coming years, millions may face job loss as AI assumes various roles,” he noted. “However, it’s crucial to understand that it will not be AI itself causing job loss, but the individuals adept at utilizing AI technologies.Speaking on the fear of technology often described as Technophobia, Pantami said one of the characteristics of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is that expertise in technology does not necessitate formal education in computer science.
“Mentorship bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Education lays the groundwork, but applying theoretical knowledge requires hands-on experience,” Pantami noted. “You need essential skills, including social abilities rooted in empathy, emotional intelligence, and communication, as well as digital skills such as AI, programming and critical thinking. Staying updated with industry trends and technologies is imperative.
