Ghana CSA and Huawei Address AI Governance and Cybersecurity in Digital Finance

Ghana’s Cyber Security Authority (CSA),  in collaboration with Huawei,  has held a two-day workshop focused on artificial intelligence governance and cybersecurity in the digital finance sector as part of the 2026 National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).

The workshop, themed “From Innovation to Resilience: Governing AI and Securing the Future of Digital Finance,” brought together cybersecurity professionals, financial institutions, fintech companies and other stakeholders to examine the opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence.

Discussions focused on promoting responsible AI adoption and strengthening cybersecurity resilience across Ghana’s digital finance ecosystem, particularly as the use of AI introduces new security and governance considerations for financial services.

Speaking at the event, CSA Director-General Dr. Divine Selase Agbeti emphasised the need for strong regulatory frameworks, responsible innovation and collective accountability to ensure that advances in AI do not undermine the security and trust of Ghana’s digital financial ecosystem.

He also reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to creating a secure digital environment in which innovation can develop while emerging cyber threats are effectively managed.

Huawei Ghana Deputy Managing Director Chad Wei reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s digital transformation through technology, strategic partnerships and capacity-building initiatives. He also highlighted the importance of cooperation between government, industry and other stakeholders in promoting responsible AI use and building resilient digital financial infrastructure.
