The Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management (NIPAM) hosted an Executive Artificial Intelligence (AI) Leadership Seminar today. 

Jobs are changing, new opportunities are emerging, and work is being redefined, while skills are changing thanks to artificial intelligence. It no longer just generates information but is involved in acting, creating content and showing rapid global growth.

The Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, has emphasised that, while AI can enhance efficiency and improve content delivery, it does not possess moral judgement or editorial responsibility. 

She emphasised that this obligation must always remain firmly in human hands. 

The Southern African Broadcasting Association (SABA) and the African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) are actively working on strengthening cooperation between the two entities. 

The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology's (MICT) Director for Print Media Affairs has warned that if nations are not well prepared for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) could become a danger.
