Without ethical safeguards and public oversight, digital systems can reinforce inequality rather than reduce it. Communities already marginalized are often the first to feel the consequences of poorly governed technology, and the last to benefit from its potential.
Across Nigeria, communities, journalists, educators, and civic actors are using AI to solve real problems, strengthen accountability, and expand opportunity.
We develop the next generation of African AI leaders. NextGen technologists, policy thinkers, and community advocates who can design, govern, and challenge AI systems responsibly, ensuring ethical and inclusive innovation grounded in local realities.
A flagship capacity-building fellowship equipping journalists, creatives, civil society leaders, and changemakers with the skills to apply ethical AI, data analysis, and storytelling to advance social and climate justice. Fellows build real projects, contribute to public discourse, and join a growing network of African AI advocates shaping the future of the field.
We design and deploy AI-powered tools in partnership with governments, civil society, and communities to improve transparency, track public resources, and strengthen accountability systems. Public AI is co-created with the institutions and communities it serves, not delivered to them.
We conduct research and advocacy with policymakers, communities, and partners on how AI affects vulnerable populations, ensuring systems are fair, inclusive, and accountable. The program produces evidence that shapes policy and practice across Nigeria and the wider region.We conduct research and advocacy with policymakers, communities, and partners on how AI affects vulnerable populations, ensuring systems are fair, inclusive, and accountable.
