The rise of deep-fakes, powered by Al, has intensified concerns over image rights, a critical aspect of an individual’s personal privacy (or right to privacy) and dignity. As deep-fake technology advances, individuals likenesses can be misused for malicious purposes, ranging from defamation and impersonation to more severe cases such as fraud or sexual harassment. Given […]
Gabriel Hallevy recounts a 1981 story in which an artificial intelligence (Al) robot killed a Japanese employee in a motorcycle factory having erroneously identified the employee as a threat to its mission.! In such situation, Hallevy further interrogates who will “be held criminally liable for this homicide”? Gleaning from the above scenarios depicting possible situations […]
Artificial Intelligence (Al), it can be said, has come to stay. Thus, humanity must be ready to embrace this technological innovation, which is revolutionizing h u m a n experiences. In the quest to leverage the potentials of Al, establishing governance frameworks becomes expedient due to the dangers that Al systems pose to humanity and […]
The DeepSeek Al controversy brings to light critical Issues surrounding d a t a privacy, intellectual property violations, a n d the broader implications of artificial intelligence governance in a n increasingly complex technological and regulatory environment. Allegations against DeepSeek center on the unauthorized use of proprietary content through model distillation, a technique that raises […]
With the sudden increase in chargeback disputes arising in Nigeria, small businesses are left at a disadvantage. These disputes lead to loss of revenue, operational disruptions a n d legal complexities. This paper explores the role of technology and artificial intelligence in creating an effective regulatory framework that balances consumer protection with rights of small […]
There is an innovative solution that is beginning to emerge in response to the need to address climate change. This solution is Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS). Essentially, this is an avenue for reducing carbon emissions in response to the climate crisis. In view of the need to ensure that the world keeps to […]
With the increase in global atmospheric temperatures, mostly due to human activities, there are evident calls for action to provide concrete climate solutions. One of the pathways through which action has been echoed is the use of artificial intelligence (Al). The accuracy presented by AI systems and its value in creating solutions a t a […]
The growing increase in the global demand for energy across industries have led to higher emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the earth’s atmosphere. Manufacturing factories, power plants and the vast transportation industry all use the energy derived from fossil fuels. Unfortunately, the adverse effect of the release of these gases is seen in its […]
The fact that machines are demonstrating human-like acumen and engaging in activities that were once restricted to humans is increasingly becoming prevalent creating questions across various contexts including the legal sphere. In the context of intellectual property (IP), there are a plethora of questions including data training of Al technologies, ownership of inputs and outputs […]
