Nigeria and the US are scheduled to talk about possible collaborations in the fields of new technologies, artificial intelligence, and the digital economy.
High-ranking American government officials are scheduled to attend a conference organized by the U.S.-Nigeria Bi-National Commission in Abuja, according to a statement made by Arthur Brown, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy.
AI and the Digital Economy
The conference will give both nations a forum to talk about these topics and promote closer cooperation. Brown emphasized the value of forming alliances and cooperating to promote strong, resilient, and equitable economic growth.
Following the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR) opening in November 2020, Nigeria has demonstrated an increasing level of commitment to AI and new technologies.
Since then, government policy initiatives like teaching kids to code and study machine learning and giving grants for AI research to universities have made artificial intelligence (AI) a bigger focus. Industry experts and the National Information Technology Development Agency collaborated to draft a national AI strategy for Nigeria in March 2023.
A chance to exchange best practices, information, and experience in the areas of new technology, AI developments, and the digital economy exists with the USA and Nigeria’s impending talks.
The collaboration intends to promote innovation and economic progress in both countries by coordinating AI governance and guaranteeing safe, secure, transparent, and reliable AI deployment.
