Nigeria Joins 17 Countries to Sign Global AI Safety Agreement 

Nigeria country joined 18 other countries, including the US and UK to unveil a 20-page document that will be the holy grail of AI safety. The countries agreed that companies developing and implementing AI must ensure that their systems prioritise customer and public safety by preventing misuse. The non-binding agreement deals with questions of how to keep AI technology from being hijacked by hackers, and it includes recommendations such as only releasing models after appropriate security testing. While Nigeria is the only participating African country in the agreement, the move is usual as the country has yet to pass its own AI act into law.
