Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu has hinted that the Federal Government is planning to establish an agency that would be in charge of Artificial Intelligence, AI and robotics.
He made this disclosure in Abuja when the Nigeria Science Academy (NSA) visited him in his office, to officially invite the Ministry to their forthcoming programmes to boost the sector.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model, including: robotics, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision and it is sometimes called machine intelligence.
Onu disclosed that for a long time his ministry has been working to establish the agency, and it has passed through a lot of processes.
According to him, the ministry is close to achieving its aim and when it is fully achieved it would be made public to Nigerians.
Onu said this has become imperative because with the establishment of artificial intelligence the level and quality of research, universities, and industrial laboratories in the country would increase and could compete favourable with international standard.
