Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has advocated the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fight against terrorism on the African continent.
Musa, while speaking at the opening of the Africa Chief of Defence Staff Conference held in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, on Monday, advised his African colleagues to invest in AI to defeat terrorist groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, Al-Qaeda, and Al-Shabaab.
He noted that due to the evolution of security threats in Africa, it was imperative to seek a digital solution to defeat some of the “invisible” enemies threatening the territorial integrity of nations.

“The battlefield is evolving, the threats of today are no longer confined to conventional warfare; they are digital, asymmetric and often invisible – the enemy is within.
“As chiefs of defence staff and heads of our Armed Forces, we must lead the charge in organising our forces, investing in cyber-defence, artificial intelligence and indigenous military technology, without which it will be difficult to achieve our security,” Musa stated.
