The partnership’s stated goals include deepening economic connections and establishing a framework for the trustworthy, transparent, and safe use of artificial intelligence. Through its many agencies, Brown said that the US is ready to work with Nigeria as fair partners to promote projects in areas like research, innovation, talent development, and infrastructure.

Speaking at the end of the workshop, Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications Innovation and Digital Economy, stressed that African leaders and governments must act decisively to back their ambitions and plans.
Researchers at PricewaterhouseCoopers estimated that by 2030, AI may add $15.7 trillion to the world economy. Of this, $3 trillion would come from increased productivity and $9.1 trillion would come from brand-new products and services.
While discussing the expected increase in both income and employment opportunities, Tijani stressed that Nigeria should not put an emphasis on increasing its revenue but rather on creating efficient regulations for artificial intelligence (AI), seeing it as an essential instrument to boost efficiency in all areas of work.
