Obaasima Summit: ‘AI is not a spiritual attack’ — Rev. Dr. Ofori-Boateng urges young women to embrace technology

Young women have been urged to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and continuous learning as technology reshapes the world, with an Anglican priest cautioning against interpreting AI as a spiritual threat. Director of Programmes for the Anglican Diocese of Accra, Rev. Dr. Akua Buabema Ofori-Boateng, gave the advice at the 2026 Obaasima Summit, where speakers encouraged young women to prepare for leadership and build on the achievements of previous generations. She said the rapid pace of technological change made lifelong learning essential for anyone seeking to remain relevant and effective in leadership. “Embrace lifelong learning. I hold many degrees, and I'm still learning,” she said.
