AI Governance & Accountability
How organisations allocate responsibility, document decisions and build meaningful oversight around AI systems.
I speak on AI governance, technology law and data protection at conferences, universities, professional programmes, workshops, podcasts and policy discussions.
My sessions examine regulation in practice: accountability, data use, human oversight, AI procurement and institutional capacity, with particular attention to Nigeria and Africa.
How organisations allocate responsibility, document decisions and build meaningful oversight around AI systems.
Delegated authority, tool access, auditability, human intervention and accountability when AI systems can act across services.
Privacy, lawful processing, explanation, evidence and the practical limits of existing data-protection frameworks.
Regulatory capacity, procurement, infrastructure, digital sovereignty and the institutional conditions needed to make governance work.
What lawyers need to understand about system design, APIs, data flows, vendors, evaluation and product development.
How legal work can be structured, documented and supported by technology without outsourcing judgment.
I also speak on intellectual property and generative AI, cybersecurity, legal education, child online safety and youth innovation.

I try to make difficult legal and technical questions understandable without reducing them to slogans.
Sessions are built around real decisions: what an organisation should ask before buying an AI system, when human oversight is meaningful, what evidence a regulator might expect, where responsibility sits when several providers are involved, or what an African institution should consider before importing a governance model developed elsewhere.
The aim is for people to leave with a clearer way of thinking about the problem, not simply a longer list of principles.
