11:32 pm
many young africans i'm moving to europe and america for you cannot make opportunities. on the other hand, many which in countries like germany welcoming this talents to meet the own shortages. it's estimated that the german labor market needs to go buy $400000.00 work as pay. yeah. so to fill the gap, the government is reform and it's integration laws to attract foreign professionals with the introduction of a so called blue cod. here's how it works. to get one, you'll need to meet 3 of these 4 criteria. you have to have a university degree or professional qualification, professional experience of at least 3 years. german language skills or experience living in germany. and you're aged under $35.00 of the one that had started as deep as the baby boomer generation retires, our labor market will seriously shrink. so we need immigration. germany needs about 400000 different grants a year. pick a feeling that toes and we'll have to make germany more attractive, especially for
11:33 pm
a highly qualified and skilled workers here to work for foster. yes, to germany shortage of skilled workers has had an all time high. a recent survey found almost 90 percent of companies that took part were feeling the effects of the shortage and the vast majority agreed that it should be easier for skilled for an workers to come here. the german government says the new opportunity card will do that by simplifying the current requirements and making them more transparent. but many say there are other issues to tackle if germany wants to attract foreign workers and retain them. in particular, germany's heavy bureaucracy means things like changing jobs or bringing your family to join. you can become a complicated nightmare type of thing. you might want it to come to germany, but they all decided to go to us. ok. just because of all disappointment because they want that they don't want the stuff i like by what they want to start, but if they get the same, i don't say unlikely most certainly in other places. and without
11:34 pm
a video for language from germany, it was recently ranked our world's worst country for x paths. when it comes to a central, it's like finding housing, learning the language and digital services. and it scored very low on friendliness to why, even if the government can't fix those things experts or urging them to address the things they can listen shonda cities of who it. and we have to make sure that we reduce these hurdles as far as possible as to whether that's bureaucratic hurdles. like trying to get an appointment for a visa, or to get qualifications recognize tenants. because people will compare germany to other countries that don't have those hurdles. and if you guys, these are good and got especially if the opportunity card alone will solve germany's labor force problem for the issues for and workers face once they get here. but it's a start and a signal that germany is working toward a new kind of migration policy. the government plans to issue a limited number of cards each year according to demand on the labor market. would
11:35 pm
you apply as the movement of african professionality, your risk of cost? not a new phenomenon in a moment will speak to one such person about the pros and cons of living and working in germany. before that, he has a story of 2 young ladies from kenya, packing up and heading to europe. the suitcase is packed and she's ready to go. so be a child, a is on her way to germany. to the small town of nothing. and lois saxony, allowing myself to experience beautiful and kind people could move date to people. nice with top. you have and basically, um hi quin youtube, you cation. what about sylvia studied financial engineering, but like so many of her fellow canyons, she couldn't find a job after finishing university. she's moving to germany to train as a cara, positive, a growing trend. canyons who received an employment contract and confirmed their
11:36 pm
accommodation in gemini can get a fast track visa. the german government is also willing to invest in training across africa via ok if we can improve the local workplace management. we can actually benefit from it. so that's why we need to have the courage to invest in difficult environments. they will pay off the people and especially for the german economy of a form of deduction, which also heading to germany is tabitha langley, who's going to work on the river cruise ship? i believe not so many germany's alex routine from africa, but uh, just to add to add that the canyons associated canyons who have they had to walk in . and if given an opportunity to do a list, a 29 year old is married with a young daughter. it's no easy leaving her family behind. but tabitha ongoing is set on taking a chance to build
11:37 pm
a better future in germany. with me now in a studio is viewing tama, originally from south africa and now living and working here in breland as a human resource manager. i hope you a high have you and this to hi eddie. thank you for having me. that's great to have you. so fast to express what made you decide to come and work in germany. it's actually a very funny story because it wasn't a defense. and so mine was a case of serendipity. i was looking for like a really huge change and i was feeling stuck in my country and not knowing, you know, what else like, what next? and then i received a link message, a link to in, you know, asking me if i would consider an opportunity at the time. i didn't even know it wasn't very late. and it was so stacey, because because i was already in the process of looking, i was just like okay, i haven't heard of this company. okay, i'll, i'll see you for an interview. and that's how my journey began. and it's
11:38 pm
interesting. yeah. yeah. so that's a brief move to, to just like respond to that. but how is it been like working in settling in german? you've been here a bit over. yeah, just over. yeah. now, i mean there's pros and cons to it as well. it was really exciting in the beginning, new country, you know, it's like compelling is a melting pots of all cultures. yeah. you mean people that you wouldn't necessarily need in our own countries? so it was really exciting. and glenda to the weather was great. it was some, uh, a lot of the things that we, we didn't have in our country like, you know, people are free and it's just like, i'm such a dynamic environments. but obviously of a cons been, is the v r a, because the that you have to go through the language barrier, you have to go to the migration office open of bank account, find an apartment if you've lived in berlin and that is what was impossible. so i
11:39 pm
stay to and, and paying for apartments for a bit until i could say killed my own apartment and it's very competitive. yeah. um and just the language barriers in time. things aren't easy and the post everything is done via pose. don't get to use the, you know, as someone who's job involves recruitment, because uh, with a child. right. and so you're probably busy with recruiting means you've got some all parts of the wall. uh huh. you know, people coming from the concert and there's an issue of brain drain. yeah. you know, concerned that your job is sticking outside great talent from the continent. so this isn't a very contentious issue. right? because 1st me personally, i'm a pen as a chemist and i love a free time. i love the continent and i love my country. how if uh, with all the economy. uh, dwindling. um, you know, huge unemployment rates. you know, people obviously want to live their best lives and they want to achieve their goals
11:40 pm
. so if i can change someone's um, you know, for your child, for example, by getting that talent, because with africans it's always, it's never just you, it's, you working bunch of feedback and like a whole family behind. right. so it's, it's, it's, it's such a, um, is a complex issue because then those skill sets will stay here in europe. nobody really wants to go home because there's more but unities. but then that means we're taking a wave of skills that could be building in our respective countries. so it is such a complex things. and so i think the question would be, how do we fix the situation back home that people feel comfortable to use their skills to build a back home instead of running to countries that are already doing well. yeah. so it's, it's such a, um, complex issue that probably needs more time. yeah. i to unpack. yeah, i wish i had more time to ask that question. i'm not gonna, boy, you with that,
11:41 pm
but definitely, well know, to be way you know, come, thank you. thank you. so much less traffic are going to be in the workforce abroad . it's also feeding the brain drain where large numbers of bills leaving us some of the confidence, best educated and most highly skilled workers. let's look at health care. for instance, the w h who has released a list of 55 countries who desperately need more health care workers and over half of them in africa. the goal is to help these countries hold onto the experts as the already stretch finn and can't afford to lose all those 5 this morning. countries like governor and i do, i continue to see mass exit as of highly skilled workers from on this last spring. in it, richard, quickly, mileage, and i did tell of african studies quantity at the center for african studies university. all started. i had a range of things that up for your time now. so yes, of discouraging people from my grades and gemini is now talking about the enormous
11:42 pm
potential of migration and is teaching skilled labor from africa. what do you make of that? a federal for thank you so much for having me. i think this is you know, policy. so invest goes april. chrissy of them was western countries for so long and most of these countries, germany in particular have been discovered and i lost my bills from many developing countries over the came names. there's a lot of last of skilled workers, i'm done many, they then need to show that got and now this is a policy they have implemented. and so for me, when i look at the, it just shows how these policies have motor has been instituted from time in the game to fits of benefit this countries us and when you know it works for me. yeah. you, you mentioned that where that benefit so let me just ask you who will benefit most from such a deal?
11:43 pm
obviously in implementing this do the deadlines or the german government is looking at how it to benefit di parmally. so the other cannot take more from the benefits of july. i quoted that hold on me. of course i'm from was i've read on countries on these most skilled workers up in the most. yeah. on that, you've been very vocal about africa's brain drain situation and the impact on the confidence. so what impacts cole, germany's new law have on that area. the african countries are losing on thousands of skilled workers every year. i'm to most of the countries um, the last, the time that i was i bought in 2018 africa. i was losing about 3 been and industry huge less on the call on your own most african countries to yeah. so to what many hours some of our counselors say, sorry, not sorry because advertise producing more university graduates down the labor market kind of met with high youth unemployment. it's difficult to blame people for
11:44 pm
trying to lock elsewhere, isn't it? i mean definitely it. um, um, as much as you would criticize um, west through congress for pushing the school records from africa. yes. on the to take it had a new car sales. i'm most african governments have been unable to provide the opportunity to so much that, that this kid was of, most of these train individuals. i, let's, let's, and a bit on that in terms of solutions because, you know, it's not really a problem for people to move and work any way around a, well, actually something i prefer to be encouraged about what needs to be done. if african governments don't want to lose majority of its bride's minds, think 1st of all african countries the to prioritize. there's crews of gains with us. um, many people receive training back home. and so the west coast, i'm gonna be in the states, i think to use so i think this just 7 point is to create those opportunities for
11:45 pm
secure what. what is on the content needs to be able to use this coast to help in developing the countries. how would they do that is by creating employment opportunities by creating these changes, which environments and, and being people fairly from what did these uh, from, from any of the doctors and most african countries where they would make in euro and in america 4 months, it's almost for the and for a year for a year, which in, in africa. and i think there's that there's a way to, to work our own if we really 1 dollar school, which has to stay on the clinton and we have somebody to develop a healthcare facilities working environment to make, to motivate people, to be able to stay and give up the best on their clinton. okay, richard, quite, you mentioned that it's out african studies quantity of a central african studies university of florida. thank you very much for your inputs of the. let's now look at one of the biggest topics of all time, sufficiently intelligence or a i, there's,
11:46 pm
i think, are ready to fully embrace this revolution. last week, you appear in parliament voted in favor of regulates into use. the fights official intelligence is the wealth, fast need or framework for a i which aims to protect people against threats to health and safety, while at the same time advancing the technology across i forgot the adoption of a technology is facing challenges, including lack of technical skills government policies and ethics, a few african countries. i've taken the steps to develop policies and strategies focused on advancing the use of unofficial intelligence. wilson discussed the challenges and opportunities with an expert in the field best best. let's look at how the growing technology is already being used in a country like donna is our respondents, isaac college. you fly your robots by weight by artificial intelligence been deployed in there from in gunners, carpets all across the drones. that being used to assess these cars,
11:47 pm
you crops. so the image is the capture are processed with the machine learning tool to detect pests and diseases. so farm is going to take steps to preventive. yeah, krupps from serious damage quantity to get this, the new x that to me what is wrong? and if i'm not that they have to glass coffee and try to figure out what is wrong with this and you kind of just deposition pinpoint exactly what is wrong in biology . but there is disease with dice best that's just a disturbing, deformed, any kind of concrete house good is another area where this new technology has a huge potential and colored with teaching hospital in the carpet tiles is stopping into these here on a i platform, designed by mental health is hope in health care, awake is read x, we emailed you some more effectively. this system facilitates faster and more accurate to diagnoses. isn't the workload for regular to used?
11:48 pm
it's big diagnosis, fasta, eat a lot of work on the time. we do not show its products important families very much as many cubes. we are using ai system with a shortage of costs awake as in many hospitals. the developments of the mental health platform once via e, i tool to fill the gaps from lack of enough equipment and enough facilities to process all this data and makes the introduction of the technology. and i think we shall intelligence critical. and the only way we can actually catch up with the rest of the well just to leapfrog. and this creates a platform for us to leap from a benjamin not to is the one of the leader of what to say is in the country. he is focusing, he's newly built a power drew up. what's the code channel is real, but is programmed to be
11:49 pm
a personal assistant for thoughts. it's kind of answer questions or even hope you take your medications. i did right kinds channel can be used in several places where there is, you know, that social interaction, for example, within health care. you can use cello to, you know, access the elderly within the customer service environment. you can actually place opposition chavel bad to perform. um, you know, guide people who come around this of america do, you know, display of prices. this new technology is seen by many as a way to boost economies and creates new jobs. and kinda wants to have it bytes of that. but there are few that existing jobs school be at the risk. generally people should be willing to ask joe. and then uh yeah, i've screwed himself menus. ready then how to use the i system, how would he i helped make a job usually i need to stop leveraging those stuff. and so once you do that,
11:50 pm
the threat of, you know, a job displacement is minimal. again, i please in the next few years. in the meantime, these developers keep pursuing new ideas and solutions they believe, can change the fortunes for many on the african continent. to help us dig into the future, i'll be i'm after got la joined by a professor and this korean from a i used to the south africa, atlanta university of technology. hello seth. thanks for your time. now. we've just moved at holly country like gonna is embracing the use of a i, you know, all aspects of life. how big on opportunities is a, i, for the continent or well looking at the potential of artificial intelligence in society. there is a lot of opportunity in various sectors of society and across africa. i think this is the view point of a very sectors of votes from industry,
11:51 pm
government and the academic community and a pretty much in the south african context of this as being the primary objective and setting up this newly established institute, which is driven by the government primarily and focuses on seeing hall as a country, as at large. and i believe this would be also, uh, you know, the story of extending it into the african continent is to see hollow technologies like a i can be dropped to advance the cause of human development and global interest. i mean, you know, as that's clearly a lot of this can be a lot of excitement about a, i spot like any innovation. there is a good, the bad and the ugly. what should we be most concerned about as with any technologies that have basically become part of the society in the last few decades . they always has to be caution when adopting these technologies. because of the
11:52 pm
potential risk, a lot of these technologies, it integrates with mainstream society and there's always the potential of misuse and potential risks that emanate from the on controlled utilization of these technology. so in general, i think uh, we all face with the potential risks that are associated with a lot of these technology. so they must be regulation. you know, the fundamentally, this is a need. they know you need to have laws that govern 1st, the adoption of technologies and the control i talking about what we should be cons, send about our concerns globally about biases in a systems. how important is it for, for got to be involved in a development to ensure that technology is more representative and say, i'm talking about face recognition. i'm talking about it kind of language used in a i am talking about the history,
11:53 pm
the call to all of those things. how important is that as well on to friends. uh to answer your question. uh um the this differential you this need for uh, regulation uh from the element of uh, honda, single, protecting the rights of individuals uh from the risk point of view. but from another element, uh, definitely to uh, overcome some of the biases that potentially arise from the utilization of these technologies. it's quite crucial to have different frameworks and laws that govern the, the adoption of the base technology. so as you mentioned earlier, you know, the, the, the governments that brought about, yeah, i laws into, into being was mainly driven by this, not that a lot of potential biases that potentially could risk the
11:54 pm
sectors of society and create but even further bias. it's and then separation and disadvantages. uh, at lot i use an example of awarding a voltage is a, a by bangs, which was one of the examples that well highlighted we're biases were created in the selection or awarding of of mortgages based on the, on the background of the individual. so example, which could be seen as disadvantages that insect is based on the orientation or uh, you know, the demographics of an individual. so i'm using that as an example of the 2nd point for me in ensuring that we are able to bring about impact as africa as a continent is obviously to capacity. we need to be able to capacity it all society to be involved in innovation and development in a i, and bring about all on contextualization of it'd be solutions that are relevant to
11:55 pm
the african continent for example, language based services. and so the frequency example of one of our telecommunication providers is providing checkbooks that respond in many of the local dialects as an example that uses yeah. as the and technology to support that, i'm using that as an example that can only come about if we in our society, i know developers and our young program is to be able to be aware of these technology. okay. and to be able to bring local context to some of the solutions. okay, preferred side on this korean from a i institute of south africa twining the best deal technology. thank you very much for your insights. thank you very much. thank you for the time. so, and that's how we wrap it up. if you want to check out more about stories, go to our website dw dot com slash after draft or visit us on facebook and twitter

11:59 pm
computers and governments that go crazy for your data. explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also to watch it. now the some people don't care about me because they don't see my beauty. some people don't care about me because they think i have nothing to give back to you to do to them. i am everything at home, they have food and livelihood that day by day. i do so.
12:00 am
and so does everything 92000000000 people care about me? needs me. and now i mean the the, this is dw news and these are our top stories. the head of the russian mercenary group of wagner appears to have declared war on the premises. military leadership is getting pretty close and posted in the audio message accusing the army of launching strengths on his from.
