Government challenges young people to see Artificial Intelligence as an opportunity

Praia, 15 May (Inforpress) - Pedro Lopes, Secretary of State for Innovation and Professional Training, today challenged young people to explore the advantages and see Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an opportunity to transform the country with knowledge.

The minister launched the challenge in statements to the press, moments before the opening ceremony of the seminar ‘The impacts of Artificial Intelligence on the labour market’, promoted by the Labour Market Observatory.

“Everyone is afraid of AI, but the data shows that there is a net positive balance, that is, some post-jobs will be destroyed, but many more will be created. I think that this generation has the opportunity to transform the country with knowledge and digital is an opportunity for artificial intelligence,” he declared.

He said AI also represents an opportunity for companies and the public sector to be “more efficient”, to have the ability to do more and to create with a focus on innovation.
