Accountability for decisions shaped by algorithms.

Artificial Intelligence Law and Governance in Nigeria examines how law should respond when public and private decisions are increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence. Bringing together constitutional rights, data protection, administrative accountability and sector-specific duties, the book considers AI use across healthcare, financial services, legal practice and public administration.

Written for scholars, regulators, lawyers, policymakers and institutional leaders, it proposes a governance approach that supports responsible innovation while ensuring that consequential decisions remain explainable, reviewable and legally accountable.

Core contribution

The book develops the Standard of Reasoned Justification—a practical framework for determining whether an AI-influenced decision can be explained, reviewed and defended against applicable legal and ethical obligations.
