Stakeholders Call for Innovation-friendly Ecosystem, Local Opportunities
Stakeholders at the Regenesys AI Summit have called for innovation-friendly regulations and stronger local opportunities to drive Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in Nigeria.
One of the stakeholders, the Chief Technology Architect, ipNX Nigeria, Oluwaseun Oluboyo, stressed the need for a collaborative approach to advance Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nigeria, and emphasised the need to foster innovation while developing enabling frameworks that support responsible adoption and sustainable growth.
Speaking during a panel session at the summit themed: ‘The Future of Nigeria in the Age of AI’, Oluboyo encouraged business leaders, policymakers and technology stakeholders to create an environment where innovation can flourish through experimentation, collaboration and continuous learning.
“If you don’t try new things, if you only stick to what is familiar, we are not going to progress as a society or an ecosystem, because innovation requires the confidence to explore new ideas, while ensuring that customers remain protected,” he said.
Reflecting on the rapid evolution of AI technologies, Oluboyo noted that governance frameworks should remain adaptable to accommodate emerging innovations and evolving industry needs.
“As technology continues to evolve, it is important that we focus on the outcomes we want to achieve while creating room for innovation. Organisations naturally build on what works, but continuous improvement is essential to unlocking new possibilities,” he added.
