The field of AI ethics has gained prominence globally, but its application in African societies, especially in Ghana, remains underexplored. We employed a comparative analysis of existing literature and case studies from Ghanaian institutions involved in AI development and deployment. Our findings highlight that while Ghana has made progress in developing ethical guidelines for AI, there is significant room for improvement regarding data protection laws and enforcement mechanisms. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at strengthening legal frameworks and enhancing public awareness about the ethical implications of AI technology. We recommend the development of comprehensive national AI ethics codes and increased collaboration between academia, industry, and government to ensure equitable AI governance in Ghana.
