Plateau State in Nigeria has trained public officials on using AI in government, with guidance to recognise AI-generated documents and take care when sharing official information with AI tools, Channels Television reports.
Why it mattersThe programme also covered possible uses in administration, including analysing data, preparing reports and monitoring performance. State officials stressed human oversight and data protection. Useful groundwork, though the report describes training, not a new AI system or a timetable for putting one into service.
Discuss: Should public officials be encouraged to use AI for routine government work, or should deployment wait until clear rules for data protection and human oversight are in place?
