News Headline -The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has called on the federal government to integrate feminist and climate justice perspectives into Nigeria’s artificial intelligence (AI) strategy. Speaking at a press briefing at CITAD office, in Kano, on Friday, Fatima Babakura, Project Lead at CITAD, warned that Nigeria’s AI policies risk entrenching inequality and environmental harm if gender and sustainability concerns are ignored. “Algorithmic bias subjects women to stereotypes, facial recognition misidentifies women of colour, and language models reinforce harmful gender norms,” Babakura said. On the environmental front, she cautioned that training large AI models consumes massive energy and generates e-waste, contributing to greenhouse emissions. “AI should serve the public good, protect the planet, and amplify the voices of those most affected”, she said.
