The Secretary of State for the Treasury, Ottoniel dos Santos, expressed concern this Wednesday, May 28, in Luanda, about the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on jobs, calling for a deep and thoughtful debate—particularly involving banking sector stakeholders.
Speaking at the opening of the 3rd edition of the Angola Banking Conference 2025, the official emphasized that no matter how sophisticated technologies may become, they should not be an end in themselves. Instead, they must serve as tools to support the real economy, families, and businesses.
He took the opportunity to raise questions about how AI could help the banking sector achieve what it has not yet been able to—specifically, the advancement of financial inclusion.
During the event, which focused on “The Role of Intelligence in the Future of Banking,” the Secretary of State for the Treasury stressed the urgent need for banks to develop products that generate lasting social and economic value, especially for the most vulnerable segments of the population.
