THE Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has underscored the importance of futuristic policy-making to strengthen governance, particularly in the realm of security, during a recent address at a high-profile security summit.
Addressing participants of the Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC-17 Syndicate 5) of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), Fubara highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize security strategies and enhance operational efficiency.
The governor emphasized transition from physical to intellectual battles, asserting that AI represents a pivotal tool in combatting contemporary challenges such as crime and terrorism.
Expressing eagerness to collaborate with NISS, Fubara underscored the importance of leveraging AI-driven insights to inform robust and forward-thinking policies aimed at safeguarding the interests of the populace.
He also emphasized the need for unity and cooperation among stakeholders, advocating for a collective approach to governance that transcends individual interests and fosters national development.
