Artificial intelligence, which involves the development of digital systems and technologies that mimic human capabilities and capacities in problem-solving and decision-making, has become a prime technology today.
Artificial intelligence is currently presenting tremendous opportunities, leading to breakthroughs in all spheres of live. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every segment of global economy.
It is expected that AI will profoundly reshape the social and economic landscape of our nation, and it will definitively spark innovations and foster creative solutions in fields such as agriculture, medicine, transportation, finance, education, and so on. Individuals, corporate organisations and governments must embrace AI opportunities for competitive advantage and rapid national development.
AI has new set of tools that are currently revolutionising the whole world. Nigeria needs to give the required attention to AI for effective transformation to digital economy and efficient business operations. AI is an accelerator for innovation and has the power to bring big changes to Nigeria. Recent research has estimated Artificial Intelligence to provide several trillions of dollars of global economic growth and Nigeria must benefit immensely from this.
However, the development and adoption of Artificial Intelligent technology is still at low pace in Nigeria. One of the major goals of NCS is to promote all areas of Information Technology and initiated this summit to lead AI development in Nigeria.
