8:30 pm
the hearing, the don't expect a happy ending literature list. we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring use a story behind the news. we're all about unbiased information. all 3 months. done the best as the the news off i got coming out from the program. the state of africa's green drain, us gemini, introduced as a new law, a c team to attract more highly skilled people from abroad. we meet some professionals from africa, assuming new opportunities away from home, or the rest of the welds gain is offered as lost. we examine what this means,
8:31 pm
where you confidence that desperately needs to keep hold of his professional talents. class. how prepared is africa to explore the new age of sufficiently intelligence gunners using that technology and different aspects of life. we look at what more needs to be done to get the best out of a i the i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. the african union estimates that about $70000.00 skilled professionals, emigrate from the confidence each year. africa, the world's most beautiful confidence house, and estimate at $10.00 to $12000000.00 young people joining the labor force every year. but the continent is only able to create just about 3000000 jobs finally. so what happens to the rest?
8:32 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 the, the german labor market needs to go buy $400000.00 work as pay. yeah. so to fill that gap, the government is reform and it's immigration 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 off for one detox to her to see past the baby boomer generation retires, our labor market will seriously shrink. so we need immigration. germany needs about 400000 different grants a year of feeling that toes. and we'll have to make germany more attractive,
8:33 pm
especially for a highly qualified and skilled workers here to work for foster. yes to germany shortage of skilled workers has had an all time high 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 and 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 is heavy. bureaucracy means things like changing jobs or bringing your family to join. you can become a complicated nightmare type of thing. and i wanted to come to germany, but they all decided to go to the us. so you okay. just because of all this equipment because they will that they don't want to start i like by when they want to start. but if they get the same, i don't, same likely, most sending in other places. and without a video for language from germany,
8:34 pm
it was recently ranked on the world's worst country for x. pat, when it comes to essential is 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 are urging them to address the things they can say. listen, shaw, and a series 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 for to get qualifications recognize tenants because people will compare germany to other countries that don't have those hurdles. and that's the guys. these are good and got especially if the opportunity card alone will solve germany's labor force problem or the issues for and workers face once they get here . but it's a start and the signal that germany is working towards 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
8:35 pm
you apply as the movement of african professional, as the euro 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. sylvia chung a is on her way to gemini, to the small town of method and lowest tax any that allowing myself to experience beautiful and kind people come with the 2 people. nice with top. you have and basically, um hi quinn, youtube location where the val, 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
8:36 pm
accommodation in gemini can get a fast track visa. the german government is also willing to invest in trading across africa view. if we can improve the local workplace management and 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 and have a form of deduction. but also heading to germany is tied to someone going who's going to work on the river cruise ship? i believe not so many german easily quoting from africa, but uh, just to add to add that the canyons associated kenyans who have a had to walk in. and if given an opportunity, we'll do a list. a 29 year old is married with a young daughter. it's not easy leaving her family behind. but time is that one great is set on taking a chance to build
8:37 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 in this to hi eddie. thank you for having me. that's great to have you. so 1st things 1st, 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
8:38 pm
interesting. yeah. yeah. so that's a brief move to, to just like respond to that. but how has it been like working in settling and jim and 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 he wouldn't necessarily meets 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, could see 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,
8:39 pm
that is what was impossible. so i stay to and, and paying for apartments for a bit until i could say killed my own apartments 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 equipment costs or whether it's out. right. and so, you know, because we were recruiting means you get from all parts of the world. 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, also chemist and i love africa and 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
8:40 pm
. so if i can change someone's um, you know, for your child, for example, by getting that talent, because with african it's always, it's never just you, it's you working bunch of feedback and click a whole family behind. right? so it's, it's, it's, it's such a, um, is a complex issue because been those skill sets we 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, but definitely, well, no, to pee. wee, you know, comma,
8:41 pm
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 those 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 with these a list of 55 countries who desperately need more health care workers and about half of them in africa. the goal is to help these countries hold onto the experts as the already stretched been and can't afford to lose all this by this morning. countries like gunner and i do, i continue to see mass exit as of highly skilled workers from on this last spring. in it, richard quincy, monday, jeanetta tell of african studies quantity at the center for african studies university. all started. i had a range of things that up for the time. now, i say yes of discouraging people from my grades and gemini is now talking about the
8:42 pm
enormous 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 new law policy, so on this goes april. christie, of them was western countries for so long. and most of these countries, germany in particular have been discovered and i lost my nose from many developing countries over the k means. there's a lot of last of skilled workers, i've 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 always 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 the word that benefits. so let me just ask you who will benefit most from such a deal?
8:43 pm
obviously in implementing this bill on the deadline. so the government government is looking at how it to benefit the quantity. so the other cannot take more from the benefits of july. i quoted that hold on me, of course, all of them was over it and country is done these most skilled workers up in the most. yeah. on that you've been very vocal about africa as brain drain situation and the impact on the continental, what impacts cold? germany's new law have on that i don't know where the african countries are losing on thousands of skilled workers every year to most developed countries. um, the last the thought of that was on the body of 2018 africa was losing about 3 been, and there's a huge loss on there on your own. most african countries. yeah. so to what many hours some of her counselors say, sorry, not sorry, because advocates with using more university graduates down the labor market kind of met with high youth unemployment. it's difficult to blame people for trying to.
8:44 pm
i like elsewhere isn't it? i mean definitely it. um, um, as much as you would criticize um, western countries for pushing the school records from africa, we also need to take a have new car sales. i'm most african governments have been unable to provide the opportunities that much that, that this kid was of most of these trains individuals. 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 bright minds, i think 1st of all, african countries need to prioritize as crews of gains with us. um, many people receive training back home. and so desco's i'm not being used to expecting to use. um, so i think this just 7 point is to create this opportunities for secure what,
8:45 pm
what is on the continue to be able to use this coast to help him develop into countries. how would they do that is by creating employment opportunities by creating incentives which environments and, and being people fairly from what did these uh, from, from any of the doctors in most african countries where they would make in euro and in america 4 months, it's almost for the hand for a year for a year, which and in africa. and i think this up to that we have to, to work our own. if we really one thought school work 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 them the best on their clinton. okay. richard crate, you mentioned that it's that 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,
8:46 pm
i think, are ready to fully embrace this revolution. last week, the repair and the problem is voted in favor of regulates into use of not sufficient 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 e. i. technologies 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 gonna 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,
8:47 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 capital is stopping into these here on a i platform, designed by mental health is hope in health care awake as read x, we emailed you some more effectively. this system facilitates faster and more accurate to diagnoses is in the workload for regular to used. it's big diagnosis,
8:48 pm
fasta, eat a lot of work on the time. we do not show its products important families very much as many kids. we are using ai system with a shortage of house awake, as in many hospitals. the developments of the amino hosted platform once via e i tool to fill the gaps from lack of enough equipment and enough facilities to process all of this data and makes the introduction of technology. and i think we shall intelligence critical. and the only way we can actually catch up with the rest of the well to sleep frog. and this creates a platform for us to leapfrog. benjamin not to is the one of the leader of what to say is in the country is focusing, he's newly build a power drew up. what's the code channel is real, but his programmed to be
8:49 pm
a personal assistant for thoughts. it's kind of answer question or, or even hope you take your medications as their rights times childcare 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 show 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 kind of wants to have it bytes of that. but there are fees 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 your job usually i need to stop leveraging those stuff. and so once you do that, the threat of, you know,
8:50 pm
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 is a to the south africa, atlanta university of technology. hello seth. thanks for your time. now we've just moved out, holly country like gonna is embracing the use of a i, you know, all aspects of life. how big an opportunity is a i for the continent. well, looking at the potential of artificial intelligence in society, there's 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, government and the academic community and
8:51 pm
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
8:52 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 at talking about what we should be concerned about. the house of commonsense 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, the call to all of those things. how important is that as well. uh,
8:53 pm
on 2 friends. uh to answer your question, um uh there is definitely this need for uh, regulation uh from the element of uh uh, honda single, protecting the rights of individuals 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, the governments that brought about, yeah, i laws into, into being was mainly driven by this. not that they a lot of potential biases that potentially could risk the sectors of
8:54 pm
society and create but even further bias. it's and then separation and disadvantages. uh at lot i use an example of awarding of voltages by bangs, which was one of the examples that well highlighted we're bias is 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, as 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 at our 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
8:55 pm
the african continent for example, language based services. and so that frequently example of one of the 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 and this korean from a i to, to the side. i forgot to sign a diversity of 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
