development, causing institutional integrity and the rule of law to suffer. Although traditional anti-corruption mechanisms are robust in their statutory design, they have frequently failed because of manual inefficiencies, human interference, and a lack of transparency in data. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), has the potential to transform Nigeria from a reactive to a proactive approach to combating corruption, according to this article. By analyzing strategic applications in public procurement, financial intelligence, and asset monitoring, this paper explores the legal, ethical, and infrastructural hurdles such as the "black box" problem and evidentiary admissibility that must be navigated to successfully automate integrity within the Nigerian legal ecosystem.

Abstract

development, causing institutional integrity and the rule of law to suffer. Although traditional anti-corruption mechanisms are robust in their statutory design, they have frequently failed because of manual inefficiencies, human interference, and a lack of transparency in data. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI), has the potential to transform Nigeria from a reactive to a proactive approach to combating corruption, according to this article. By analyzing strategic applications in public procurement, financial intelligence, and asset monitoring, this paper explores the legal, ethical, and infrastructural hurdles such as the "black box" problem and evidentiary admissibility that must be navigated to successfully automate integrity within the Nigerian legal ecosystem.
