Obedient Movement Rejects INEC's AI Plans for Elections
The Obedient Movement, under the leadership of National Coordinator Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has publicly rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) proposal to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) tools for the upcoming 2027 elections. This statement was made in Abuja on a Tuesday following disclosures by INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan about the commission's plans to use AI to identify discrepancies and combat AI-generated disinformation.
Tanko criticized INEC for failing to clarify the operational framework of the technology and the specific issues it aims to address. He emphasized that the commission has not adequately resolved existing concerns regarding electoral transparency and credibility.
The movement demands that INEC publish a comprehensive roadmap for the 2027 elections, including details on technology and safety measures, and calls for an independent audit of current electoral technology. Tanko insisted that any AI tools must undergo rigorous independent testing and public scrutiny before being implemented.
