The Federal Government has initiated efforts to establish regulations governing the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the country.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, unveiled this development during an event held in Abuja.
The objective is to enact legislation aimed at curbing the potential misuse of AI technology for activities such as identity theft and other illicit purposes.
Recognizing the transformative potential of AI and robotics in various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and education, the government is seeking to implement a robust regulatory framework for emerging technologies.
Additionally, there is a growing awareness of the ethical and societal concerns associated with AI, including biases, inequality, and fake identities.
In response to these challenges, the 10th House of Representatives plans to engage with experts and stakeholders to address issues related to privacy, accountability, ethics, security, and intellectual property within the AI domain.
Speaker Abbas also announced the forthcoming introduction of a bill aimed at regulating AI in Nigeria.
