The directive comes amid growing concerns about the role of AI in political campaigns. Officials emphasized the need for ethical guidelines to ensure AI technologies are used transparently and fairly. The call follows recent discussions on the impact of AI on democratic processes. The Presidency urged political parties and stakeholders to adopt clear policies on AI usage. This marks the first time a national body has formally addressed AI ethics in the context of elections. The move aims to prevent misuse of AI in influencing voter behavior. The government is working with technology experts to draft a framework for AI regulation. The 2027 election is seen as a key moment for digital governance in Nigeria.
