Nigeria has advocated inclusive and human-centred artificial intelligence (AI) policies that protect jobs and safeguard workers’ rights while harnessing the transformative potential of technology to drive economic growth and decent work.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, made the call while delivering Nigeria’s statement at the 114th Session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
The minister who spoke in response to the report of the Chairperson of the Governing Body and the Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO) titled, “A Moment of Choice: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Decent Work,” commended the ILO leadership for its resilience and commitment to advancing the organisation’s mandate despite global challenges.
