AI and 2027: who answers when technology gets it wrong?, By Dakuku Peterside

A fake voice message mimicking an INEC official can falsely announce postponed voting, causing voters in places like Mbiama or Ogoja to stay home and miss the election. Fabricated videos showing candidates insulting communities can spread anger and resentment that lingers even after exposure, showing how AI can distort elections without changing ballots.

Pidgin: One fake voice message wey sound like INEC officer fit announce say voting don postpone, so people for Mbiama, Kontagora, Ife or Ogoja wey don arrange transport go queue go just stay house. Fake video fit show candidate dey insult one community, anger go spread quick pass correction, and even after dem expose the lie, the bad mind go still remain.

How this affects you: Voters in places like Mbiama, Kontagora, Ife or Ogoja stay home and miss voting due to false postponement messages, while communities develop lasting resentment from fabricated candidate insult videos.
