Uganda Ministry of Public Service Urges Ethical AI Use in Workplace
What happened
The Ministry of Public Service in Uganda urged human resource managers to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve workplace efficiency and service delivery. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry warned that organizations must ensure AI complements human workers rather than replacing them. This guidance was given during the 3rd Human Resource Managers Conference in Kampala.

Why it matters
The Ministry stressed that excessive reliance on technology as a replacement for human labor could worsen Uganda’s high youth unemployment levels. The guidance also requires organizations to develop policies that safeguard workers' rights, eliminate discrimination, and prioritize data protection when integrating technology.
