Nigeria Urged to Regulate Growing Impact of AI

Godwin Agaba Ochube argues that Nigeria must implement regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) as it has begun to significantly influence nearly every sector of national life. AI technologies are being utilized in finance for fraud detection and credit scoring, in healthcare for telemedicine and patient management, and in agriculture for crop analysis and weather information.

The integration of AI into these sectors is transforming service delivery and decision-making processes. The article stresses that AI is no longer confined to laboratories or startups but is becoming an integral part of administrative and commercial functions across Nigeria.

As AI continues to advance, the government must architect a regulatory framework to respond effectively to its rapid integration into society.
