Prof. Moses Aregbesola, a Computer Science professor, has called for greater research and innovation in secure Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems.
He made the call at Caleb University’s 11th Inaugural Lecture titled: “From Code to Cloud: Building Secure, Scalable and Artificial Intelligence Systems,” held at the institution’s Multipurpose Hall in Imota, Lagos.
The varsity don said: “The next decade of computing will be shaped by AI-driven automation in cybersecurity, where self-learning systems detect and mitigate threats autonomously.”
Aregbesola also called for improved collaboration between academia and industry to develop cutting-edge AI security solutions that would benefit all sectors of society, support emerging researchers in AI and cybersecurity, and foster innovation that secures the digital space for the future.
“Universities and research institutions must expand AI and cloud security programmes, producing highly skilled professionals.
“Government and regulatory agencies must establish clear AI security policies, ensuring global compliance and ethical standards,” the professor counseled.
The lecture was attended by the Ag. Vice-Chancellor, other principal officers, and other members of the university community.
