Yusuf Bichi, Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), has highlighted the increasing threat of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled cyber-attacks, deep fakes, and digital manipulations in Nigeria.
Speaking at a seminar by the National Institute for Security Studies in Abuja, Bichi warned that these advanced technologies could compromise national security and trust in digital systems.
He stressed the need for robust strategies to address these emerging threats.
Yemisi Edun, Managing Director of First City Monument Bank, supported this view, emphasizing the dual nature of AI as both a tool for progress and a potential risk if misused.
