INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan announced at the 24th All Nigeria Editors Conference in Enugu that the commission has begun deploying artificial intelligence tools to detect discrepancies and administrative errors in election results ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections. He said INEC is also strengthening its defences against AI-generated disinformation capable of producing fake result sheets, cloned voices of electoral officials, fabricated videos, and forged official documents. Amupitan warned that deepfakes may erode confidence in polls and said the commission is engaging Microsoft and Google on cybersecurity resilience. Other speakers called for an independent INEC, a special election tribunal, and a 50% threshold for presidential victory.
