THE Information and Communication Technologies Commission (ICTC) has revealed that the country is ready to deploy Artificial Intelligence (IA) whilst allaying fear among Tanzanians that the technology would not replace human labour but increase productivity.

ICTC Director-General, Dr Nkundwe Mwasaga said this recently at the Tanzania Employers Association 's Annual General Meeting held in Dar es Salaam when making his presentation on 'Tanzania's readiness to adopt the IA and the future of jobs'.

Furthermore, he said,"AI technology will change the way that people work, so Tanzanians should develop their skills and learn new areas that come with this technology." He said the competition, which is supported by the African Union and the New Partnership for Africa's Development in collaboration with the ElevateAI Institute, has been instrumental in shaping a strategy to promote the responsible use of AI across the continent.

Emphasizing the significance of AI, Dr Mwasaga applauded public institutions that have embarked on the use of emerging technologies, citing an example of the High Court of Tanzania which has begun using AI to conduct and coordinate proceedings in various courts in the country, a move that will expedite the delivery of justice.
