“For instance, integrating indigenous knowledge systems with AI-based models could lead to innovations that are uniquely suited to local challenges, thereby enhancing community acceptance and effectiveness.’’

Ojogo, who also called for continuous monitoring and evaluation to assess AI’s impact and sustainability, said, “Future research could, therefore, develop advanced analytical tools and methodologies to measure the effectiveness of AI technologies in real time.

“By providing timely insights into the performance of AI applications, researchers can assist policymakers and practitioners in refining their strategies, ensuring that AI continues to contribute positively to sustainable development goals in the riverine areas”.

Another keynote speaker, Dr Awe Agboluga, recommended that the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) should mandate AI explainability standards to address the “black box” problem and enhance transparency in financial and corporate governance applications.

The ABUAD DVC (Administration), Prof Olasupo Ijabadeniyi, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Smaranda Olarinde, at the event, said the university is taking proactive steps to align its curriculum and research priorities with the technologies shaping our future by introducing various skills to students across all colleges.
