Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Philospher II, oil on canvas. 76cm x 81cm.

There are Ghanaian engineers at NASA. Ghanaian surgeons running hospital departments in London. Ghanaian economists at the IMF and World Bank, some of them administering the very programs that have failed their home country. Ghanaian mathematicians. Ghanaian architects. Ghanaian writers who have won international literary prizes. Ghanaian tech entrepreneurs building companies that work. When given access to resources, institutions, and an enabling environment, Ghanaians perform at the highest levels of every field. This is not an argument that individual talent solves structural problems. It is a refutation of the claim that the problem is the people. The problem is never the people. The people are everywhere. The talent is everywhere. The ambition is everywhere. The capacity is everywhere. What is not everywhere is the policy space, the institutional support, the geopolitical backing, the market access, and the freedom from externally imposed economic programs that systematically prevent the conversion of human capacity into collective industrial development. The difference between a Ghanaian running a department at a London hospital and Ghana having a functioning public health system is not the Ghanaian. It is everything around the Ghanaian.
