AI Revolution in Nigeria: The Need for Policy Frameworks to Address Unseen Challenges
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming various sectors in Nigeria, including finance, healthcare, and business. While AI has improved efficiency and accuracy, professionals are calling for policy frameworks to address ethical concerns, data privacy, and accountability.
In finance, AI-powered applications provide real-time stock market predictions, allowing analysts like Mrs. Joy Akin to make more informed decisions. However, she emphasizes the need for regulation to ensure ethical use and data protection.
In healthcare, doctors are using AI to diagnose conditions with remarkable precision. Dr. Tunde Ogundipe, a Cardiologist, uses AI to analyze heart scans, identifying irregularities that could lead to potential heart issues. Dr. Amina Musa, a radiologist, relies on AI to detect tumors at earlier stages. Both doctors highlight the need for a regulatory framework to address ethical concerns, particularly around patients’ data privacy and accountability.
As AI adoption grows across Nigeria, the need for policy frameworks becomes increasingly important to address unseen challenges and ensure responsible use.
