Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has called on the youth to exercise caution in their use of modern technology, particularly artificial intelligence, as digital tools become increasingly central to daily life.
The Chief Justice urged young people to leverage modern technology for their benefit but admonished them to be discerning in their use of artificial intelligence.
He explained that “modern technology has its own fault ..they will tell you about the power of AI and what it can be used for but you should also know that AI can do a lot of harm, day in day out fake news are being manufactured with Al and you need to be wary about them.”
He made the call while inaugurating Justice Clubs in 13 senior high schools across the Western and Central regions, an initiative aimed at promoting legal awareness and responsible citizenship among students.
A total of 65 justice officers from the schools where sworn into office.
These students will lead the newly established clubs in their respective schools, deepening understanding of the rule of law and encouraging the youth to uphold justice, fairness, and responsible citizenship.
Judicial Secretary, Musah Ahmed underscored the significance of the Justice club, stressing the need to uphold justice in society
He noted that the clubs will provide an avenue to instill the values of fairness and justice in the young people.
“It is our hope that through these Clubs, students will not only learn about the justice system but will also live out its ideals in their schools, families, and communities. Let the Justice Clubs become spaces for discussion, problem-solving, advocacy and community service,” he said.
Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, who attended the inauguration, lauded the initiative and encouraged its expansion to other schools in the region.
“This is a commendable program that we hope to see extended across more schools to cultivate responsible and informed young citizens,” he said.
