    Technophobia: Pantami Says AI Won’t Replace Humans, But Unskilled Workers

    Technophobia: Pantami Says AI Won’t Replace Humans, But Unskilled Workers

    The former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, has addressed concerns about Artificial Intelligence (AI) potentially displacing millions of jobs, emphasising the importance of skill acquisition in mastering modern tools as a solution.

    Pantami expressed his views while receiving participants in the PRNigeria Young Communication Fellowship at his office. He underscored that mentorship programs focused on skill development can enhance career growth, improve problem-solving abilities, and expand professional networks.

    “In the coming years, millions may face job loss as AI assumes various roles,” he noted.

    “However, it’s crucial to understand that it will not be AI itself causing this job loss, but individuals adept at utilizing AI technologies. AI is ultimately a product of human ingenuity; it does not operate or evolve independently.”

    While mindful of fear of technology often described as allayed Technophobia, Pantami highlighted that one of the defining characteristics of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is that expertise in technology does not necessitate formal education in computer science. “Similarly, you don’t need a degree in Mass Communication to become an award-winning journalist or an accomplished public relations professional. This revolution is centered around personal development and continuous learning.”

    Pantami emphasized that mentorship can transform lives, even through brief interactions, and encouraged younger individuals to seek guidance from their elders.

    “Mentorship bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills,” he said. “Education lays the groundwork, but applying theoretical knowledge requires hands-on experience.”

    He explained that while university education provides essential theoretical frameworks, practical skills are often cultivated in the private sector. “I have consistently emphasized that practical skills—not just degrees—drive success.”

    Continuing, Pantami stressed the importance of continuous training and personal development in today’s fast-paced environment. “You need essential skills, including social abilities rooted in empathy, emotional intelligence, and communication, as well as digital skills such as AI, programming, and critical thinking. Staying updated with industry trends and technologies is imperative.

    “I commend all of you for pursuing the PRNigeria Young Communication Mentorship Programme following your university graduation. While degrees are valuable, skills are equally important. Pursue formal education, but prioritize practical experience and continuous learning for success.”

    He reiterated that digital skills and understanding AI are crucial for remaining relevant, given the expected job displacement caused by these technologies. “There is a need for constant learning and retraining to stay competitive in the job market.”

    Mr. Yushau Shuaib, Chief Executive Officer of Image Merchants Promotion Limited, praised Pantami for accommodating the fellowship on short notice and for providing copies of his latest book, “Skills Rather than Just Degrees,” to the participants.

    Shuaib noted that the PRNigeria Young Communication Fellowship was designed to broaden participants’ knowledge across various communication aspects. He explained that the fellowship focuses on modern communication methods, emerging technologies, and multimedia sessions.

    “The fellowship explores strategic communication and social media engagement while incorporating AI and machine learning to enhance communication. Additionally, we include multimedia sessions to address the transition from print to audiovisual communication.”

    He added that the fellowship which is hosted at PRNigeria Centers in A una, Ilorin and Kano provides a platform for participants to connect with industry professionals through organized sessions at media houses and PR departments, facilitating hands-on experience and practical learning opportunities.
