The Social Entrepreneurship Hub (SE-Hub) hosted its latest Cr8ive Friday session on March 28, 2025, drawing artists, entrepreneurs, students, and tech enthusiasts to its Nnoboa Space in Anaji. Centered on the theme “Age of Intelligence,” the dialogue offered a hands-on exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its growing influence in the creative economy.
Led by Emmanuel Okyere, SE-Hub Associate Facilitator, the event provided participants with a foundational understanding of AI’s predictive design, the art of prompt engineering, and the emerging ethics of human-machine co-creation. Attendees, including representatives from Takoradi Technical University and creatives from Logosbysey, experimented with AI tools, especially ChatGPT, to probe the technology’s strengths, biases, and potential pitfalls.
A key area addressed in the dialogue was the concept of AI “hallucinations”; that is, the tendency for generative systems to produce convincing but inaccurate information. Participants practiced crafting precise prompts to test the reliability of AI, then debated philosophical and ethical questions about whether machines can emulate emotion, originality, or truth. The session emphasized the value of critical thinking and verification in an era increasingly defined by algorithmic collaboration.
“This is not about distrust, it’s about intelligent collaboration,” noted Vanessa Kugbey, a participant working in the fashion and modeling sector. “We’re learning to work with technology, not under it.”
Through interactive exercises, attendees generated locally relevant business concepts powered by AI, bridging theory and practice. The initiative reinforced SE-Hub’s broader mission: equipping Ghana’s young innovators and creatives with the skills to harness the potential of emerging technology responsibly.
As dialogue gave way to action points, SE-Hub announced plans to extend its AI education series. Future sessions of Cr8ive Friday will focus on advanced prompting techniques, ethical AI integration, and strategies for embedding artificial intelligence into creative workflows.
“AI won’t take your job,” the facilitator told participants at the close of the session. “But it will be used by those who know how to master it to gain an advantage. Our goal is to ensure Ghana’s entrepreneurs are among them.”
