Local youth view AI as something out of reach for them, says National Youth ICT Council spokesperson Aluwani Chokoe.
Local youth seem to experience a disconnect with artificial intelligence , with some viewing it as a technology far removed from their lived experiences.
“We speak about these terms in English. For example, when we’re in Ntabazwe in the Free State, where Sesotho is predominantly spoken, why are we not making a deliberate effort to ensure we break down this language barrier so that they engage in a language they best understand?” She warned that if AI access is not evenly distributed, it increased the risk of widening the digital divide. “Youth, particularly in South Africa, would face the brunt of being left behind by the rise of this revolution.
And while challenges may exist, she emphasised the strategic integration of AI will ensure it benefits all segments of society and mitigates potential risks.
