The National AI Strategy for Nigeria aims to responsibly steer the AI revolution towards achieving national goals around job creation, social inclusion, and sustainable development becomes imperative. With collaborative leadership, Nigeria seeks to pioneer ethical and inclusive AI innovation that improves welfare and expands opportunities for all its citizens.
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has precipitated a paradigmatic shift in global innovation and transformation, driving cutting-edge advancements across nations and industries. The ramifications of its impact on the global ecosystem and specifically on the developmental trajectory of Nigeria and other African nations are profound and farreaching. Nigeria, as the continent’s most populous country, is singularly positioned to harness AI’s transformative capacity to address pressing socio-economic conundrums, accelerate economic growth, and pivot the nation into a new epoch of technological empowerment, which unlocks unprecedented opportunities for sustainable development, economic prosperity, and human flourishing. Nigeria’s National AI Strategy (NAIS) sets a path to achieve the vision to be a global leader in harnessing the transformative power of AI through responsible, ethical, and inclusive innovation, fostering sustainable development through collaborative efforts.
April brought together Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts of Nigerian descent to support us in developing a document that will serve as a roadmap towards achieving our aspiration to participate actively in leveraging the ethical use of AI for national development.
The national AI strategy serves as a comprehensive roadmap and guiding framework for harnessing the rapidly evolving technological landscape and socio-economic trends, enabling a nation to chart its distinctive course and develop a tailored approach to optimise the benefits of AI for the betterment of society. A proactive approach in the formulation of national AI strategy enables nations to enhance the welfare and quality of life of their citizens, primarily through an intentional application of AI to drive meaningful improvements in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and agriculture, ultimately leading to better outcomes, increased efficiency, and improved citizen experience
