Experts Urge Adaptation to AI in Nigerian Workplaces
At the second edition of the Nigeria Workplace Culture Conference & Awards, experts discussed the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workplace. Dr. Deji Osasona, Chief Executive Officer of WINBOX Consulting, stated that while AI can automate tasks, effective leadership is essential for managing personnel and maintaining team dynamics.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, represented by Mienye Badejo, indicated that AI should be seen as a tool for skill transformation and productivity enhancement, assuring workers that their jobs are not at risk. Prof. Obadare Adewale, Founder of Digital Encode, noted that AI is altering workplace structures, with employees increasingly collaborating with AI systems.
The overall message was one of adaptation and responsible use of technology rather than fear of job displacement.
