Research Interests
I am drawn to AI governance because of the gap between AI’s potential and the protections people actually have. My interests centre on how law and policy can keep pace with rapidly evolving AI capabilities, particularly around data protection, the regulation of generative AI, and legal accountability in AI systems. I am also deeply interested in what meaningful AI governance looks like for developing nations and the Global South, where the stakes are high but the policy infrastructure is often thin. Alongside this, I care about digital equity and ensuring that young people, particularly in Nigeria and across Africa, are not left behind as AI reshapes economies and opportunities.
