Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has called for the urgent adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern technology in Nigeria’s security architecture, warning that conventional approaches are no longer sufficient to tackle evolving threats. Speaking at the Kogi Security Summit held in Abuja, Zulum said Nigeria must embrace technological warfare to effectively combat insecurity driven by sophisticated criminal networks. “For us to address insecurity, we need to possess modern technological warfare; technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are now deployed globally to combat crime,” Zulum stated. He advocated integrating surveillance drones, biometric tracking systems, and predictive analytics to…

The way teams work has changed permanently. Remote and hybrid environments are now standard, forcing organisations to rethink how they collaborate and execute tasks. Traditional tools, built mainly for messaging or file sharing, can no longer keep up with the speed and complexity of modern work. AI-powered collaboration platforms are redefining this space. Rather than simply enabling communication, they enhance productivity, automate workflows, and provide real-time insights. In 2026, the difference is clear: organisations that adopt AI-driven collaboration tools are faster, more aligned, and better equipped to compete. Below are insights;  What Are AI-Powered Collaboration Platforms? AI-powered collaboration platforms combine…

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in enterprise systems, organisations are shifting their focus from raw capability to governance, safety, and operational reliability. Two leading frontier models, Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, stand out for enterprise adoption, but they differ significantly in their design philosophies and deployment strengths. This comparison examines how both systems perform in terms of enterprise readiness, safety architecture, and real-world risk trade-offs. 1. Enterprise AI: Why Safety Matters In enterprise environments, AI is not just a productivity tool; it becomes part of the decision-making infrastructure. This introduces high-stakes requirements such as compliance, data protection, and reliability.…

The modern AI race is often described in terms of size: larger models, more parameters, faster deployment, and broader capabilities. Yet this framing hides a deeper philosophical divide in the industry. At one end are companies optimising for rapid scaling; at the other is Anthropic, which argues that intelligence without control is not progress, it is exposure to unmanaged risk. The company’s position can be summarised simply: if you cannot reliably predict or constrain what an AI system will do, increasing its power only multiplies uncertainty. This is not a rejection of scale. It is a claim about sequencing. The…

Nigeria has a rapidly growing youth population, but many individuals still face challenges in accessing quality education, practical skills training, and career guidance. At the same time, the global economy is becoming increasingly digital, with employers and clients demanding strong technical and soft skills. In this environment, artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are emerging as powerful equalisers. ChatGPT is not a replacement for education or experience, but it can serve as a personal learning assistant, helping Nigerians learn faster, practice more effectively, and build relevant skills at low or no cost. The key is knowing how to use it effectively. These are…

For years, NVIDIA has been synonymous with GPUs and artificial intelligence. From training large language models to powering data centres, GPUs have formed the backbone of modern AI computing. But as AI systems scale in size and complexity, performance limits are no longer defined only by compute power-they are increasingly defined by system inefficiencies. This leads to a central question: How do we remove the bottlenecks that prevent GPUs from reaching their full potential? The answer is the NVIDIA Grace CPU, designed to work alongside GPUs and redefine how AI systems are built. The Problem in Modern AI Computing Modern…

OpenAI is reportedly under criminal investigation in the United States over allegations that its chatbot, ChatGPT, may have played a role in a deadly mass shooting at Florida State University. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier confirmed that authorities are reviewing whether ChatGPT provided “significant advice” to the suspect prior to the 2025 campus attack that left two people dead and several others injured. Investigators are said to be examining chat logs, safety systems, and the AI platform’s responses to potentially harmful prompts. “If this were a person on the other end of the screen, we would be charging them with…

Applications are now open for the 2026 edition of the AI for Reproductive Health Innovation Challenge, a pan-African initiative supporting the development of artificial intelligence solutions to address critical reproductive health issues across Sub-Saharan Africa. The program is led by the Infectious Diseases Institute and the African Population and Health Research Centre, with backing from partners including the Artificial Intelligence for Development Africa (AI4D Africa), the International Development Research Centre, and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. According to the organisers, the challenge aims to bring together multidisciplinary teams to design AI-driven tools that can improve access to reproductive health…

A new AI-driven social media platform, Rooli AI, is set to launch, focusing on African creators, small businesses, and agencies, offering low-cost tools tailored to emerging markets. The platform will enable users to create, manage, and schedule content across multiple social media platforms from a single dashboard, targeting a broad range of users from individual creators to enterprise teams. According to its developers, the aim is to make advanced social media management tools more accessible in regions where global platforms are often expensive or difficult to access. Rooli AI integrates AI-powered content generation, multi-platform scheduling, and analytics into a single…

South Africa has opened its draft national Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy for public comment, inviting input from stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and civil society before final adoption. The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies said the draft policy, approved by Cabinet for publication, aims to provide a coordinated framework for the development, deployment, and governance of AI in the country. Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the policy is intended to ensure that AI development benefits all South Africans while limiting potential risks. She noted that the government is focused on ensuring that “the benefits and risks brought…
