With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, young people have been urged not to let AI diminish their capacity for innovation and creativity, but rather to use it to enhance their abilities.

Mr Ibrahim Kayongo, Quality Manager at Tecno Uganda, emphasized that while AI can be a powerful tool, people should not abandon their own innovation and creativity by letting AI do all the work. Instead, he advised using AI as a catalyst for creativity, without completely relying on it.

He explained that although AI is capable of performing many tasks, it still requires human intervention for certain aspects, particularly those that rely on common sense—something AI lacks.

“Most people are worried that AI will phase out their jobs. Even we, as programmers, had concerns. Yes, AI can design and create a website, but there are things that will require a technical person, like common sense, which AI doesn’t possess,” said Mr. Kayongo.

He added, “AI can edit photos and set a background, but it cannot determine positioning, which requires human knowledge.”
