Cameroon concluded a weeklong training programme on Saturday for indigenous communities in artificial intelligence (AI), as part of activities marking the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples.
Minister of Social Affairs Pauline Irene Nguene said the initiative was aimed at ensuring that indigenous people benefit from the opportunities brought by AI.
"Indigenous people should not be left out in the changing world. It is their right to learn and apply AI. That is why this training contributes to the fight against social exclusion," Nguene said in Yaounde while awarding certificates at the closing ceremony.
Officials said plans are underway to establish a tiered AI education system, guiding rural indigenous communities from basic cognitive awareness to practical technological innovation.
The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed annually on 9 August, with this year’s theme being "Indigenous Peoples and AI: Defending Rights, Shaping Futures."
