Rethinking the Culpability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) under the Nigerian Cybercrimes Act

In this paper, we explore the complex issue of artificial intelligence (A.I) culpability under the Nigerian Cybercrimes Act, addressing whether or not A.I can be considered a 'person' and if it can be held criminally liable for offenses. I implore you to read this analysis on the subject matter of AI culpability and share your thoughts on this pressing topic in tech law.
