It is, however, a concept that many Nigerians are not familiar with, even though many countries of the world have already keyed into it in this 21st century, especially developed nations.
Mr Sampson Awele, an Information Communication Technology expert, says whenever AI is mentioned, many people tend to imagine science fiction stories about robots taking the jobs and ruling the world. The ICT expert, who expresses optimism that AI will not be taking over jobs to be performed by humans, explains that “many people are worried that AI robots will take over their jobs, but more humans are still needed in the workforce to do some other chores and functions.
“AI will not take over jobs, it only means that humans will have to adjust so that the jobs they do will suit trends in the Information Communication Technology sector.” On the contrary, Mr Jimson Olufuye, former boss of African Information Communication Technology Alliance , bemoans Nigeria’s readiness to embrace AI, stressing that huge investment will be required for the purpose.“Right now, the real need is not there yet, we are still struggling with the basic needs, as greater percentage of the population are still struggling to make ends meet.
According to Olufuye, there is little or no internet connectivity in many parts of the country, and calls for improvement. Shittu says AI is taking centre stage with a lot of impact on peoples’ lives as its potential power is being exploited and developed at an unprecedented speed. The minister emphasise that AI is no longer confined to the laboratories, but can be seen in many instances of human activities.
The minister adds that the ministry will engage in crucial conversations with stakeholders to manage and explore the AI regime.
