AI Accountability and the Civic Space: Navigating Ethics, Access and Advocacy in Nigeria
This policy brief examines the dual role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Nigeria’s civic space: as an enabler of innovation and advocacy, and as a potential threat to rights, freedoms, and democratic accountability. It highlights how civil society organisations (CSOs) can utilise AI to improve data-driven decision-making, amplify citizen voices, and expand access to information. At the same time, it warns of emerging risks such as surveillance, privacy violations, and the reinforcement of inequality if AI tools are deployed without proper oversight.
