Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga Implores Creatives To Embrace Technology

The Katikiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga has urged creatives in the art industry while attending a show at the National Theatre to develop with technology. He told them not to be afraid of it making them unemployed.

According to the Premier, technological advancement always brings about uncertainty. However, this shouldn’t always be the case.

If people are able to take advantage of it, they can surely reap big rewards from it. He pointed out examples such as the invention of cars and computers which saw people oppose them. But after embracing them, they became great innovations.

He said social media platforms such as TikTok should be used to create and promote great content. Once this is done, it will act as a great marketing tool.

People will be attracted to go to theatres and watch the actual content. However, he said that those who create unprofessional content won’t go far no matter how much they use these platforms.

Read his statement below;

“I want to implore the creative people in our art industry to take advantage of technology evolution. Do not be afraid that will make you jobless. Of course, it always brings about uncertainty but it shouldn’t always be the case. The likes of Alex Mukulu, Hannington Bugingo, Phina Mugerwa should guide the young generation on how to do this,” he said.

Without a doubt, many people have taken advantage of the different technological advancements to change their livelihoods. However, there are fears that soon more technological discoveries will render them jobless.

The biggest fear lies with artificial intelligence (AI). This has already proved a menace it can be if not regulated.

An example is Azawi’s Masavu song which was concocted and the late Radio featured in. Many people ended up thinking the song was copied by the Swangz Avenue singer.
