Ghana Prepares for Election 2024 with New AI-Focused Media Watch App to Counter Fake News.

As Ghana approaches its December 7 general election, the National Media Commission (NMC) has launched the "Media Watch" app to combat misinformation. The app allows citizens to report suspected fake news, which the NMC will then verify and take action on if necessary. This initiative addresses fears around artificial intelligence (AI) being used to create fake media, such as cloning election officials to falsely declare results. The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) warned of possible hacking risks, urging the Electoral Commission (EC) to fortify its IT systems. Dr. Eric Bossman Asare, Deputy EC Chairman, emphasized the Commission's largely manual vote-counting process to maintain transparency and reduce cyber threats. The NMC and CSA are collaborating to ensure credible information flows and to provide educational initiatives to help citizens recognize fake news.
