Sector Tracks — Module 7A through 7E

Ghana’s National AI Strategy 2025–2035 and its eight pillars, led by the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations; the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) and the Data Protection Commission; and the real gaps between the strategy and what is enforceable today. The professionals who wrote it were not careless — they lacked the framework to know when to question AI output.

• Assess the risk profile of 8 common corporate AI use cases using a structured framework
• Identify which local regulations (the Data Protection Act (Act 843), the Labour Act and consumer protection law) apply to their AI deployments
• Evaluate AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, DeepSeek) against corporate risk criteria
• Present a structured AI judgment recommendation to a board or senior team

Millions of SASSA Social Relief of Distress grant applications are declined by an automated system with the message "Alternative Income Source Identified" — often incorrectly. Applicants have no clear path to challenge the decision.

• Identify when automated government decisions require human review under the Data Protection Act (Act 843) Section 71
• Map the accountability chain for AI-assisted decisions in their department
• Apply the Data Protection Act (Act 843), the Labour Act (Act 651) and public procurement considerations to AI procurement and deployment
• Design a basic override and escalation protocol for automated decisions

73% of Ghanaian adults have no access to formal credit (Bank of Ghana Financial Inclusion Report, 2023) — effectively invisible to AI credit scoring models. The informal economy — susu collectors, market trading, cash income — generates little of the data trail a credit model reads, so creditworthy traders stay unscoreable.

• Identify proxy discrimination in AI credit and fraud scoring outputs
• Apply NCA Sections 80–81 and financial-sector regulator guidance to AI-assisted lending decisions
• Evaluate risk profiles of major regional fintech AI tools (JUMO and comparable regional fintech tools detection)
• Use the Funda Five™ to decide whether to act on an AI fraud flag

Mediclinic implemented an AI-assisted workforce management system, followed by a hiring freeze and restructuring. After public backlash, the company denied AI was responsible for staffing decisions — while the AI remained in use.

• Evaluate AI clinical decision support tools using patient safety and equity criteria
• Apply professional-conduct and medical-device guidance to tool assessment
• Identify the Data Protection Act (Act 843) obligations for health data processed by AI systems
• Use the Funda Five™ to decide when to override a clinical AI recommendation

UCT formally discontinued Turnitin's AI detection tool after evidence of false positives at significantly higher rates for non-native English speakers — disproportionately affecting African students. The decision followed a wave of contested academic integrity rulings.

• Evaluate AI detection and learning tools for equity and false positive risk
• Apply the Data Protection Act (Act 843) obligations for learner data and national qualification-authority accreditation considerations
• Identify the accountability chain when an AI detection tool flags a student
• Use the Funda Five™ to assess an edtech platform pitch for their institution
