Resumen

El discurso de odio se ha convertido en una preocupación mundial. Las naciones de todo el mundo de una forma u otra tienen que lidiar con el enorme problema de este fenómeno, predominantemente perpetrado a través de nuevos medios o plataformas de medios en línea. En Nigeria, la situación es tal que los gobiernos de los niveles federal y estatal han seguido expresando preocupación por la creciente ola de discurso de odio en el país. Si bien la tecnología impulsa este fenómeno, la tecnología podría ser la solución. La tecnología, sin duda, ha continuado ofreciendo a la humanidad varias posibilidades para mejorar la existencia humana. Cada vez más se está convirtiendo en una parte indispensable de la vida diaria de las personas. El teléfono móvil, por ejemplo, se ha vuelto indispensable en nuestra vida cotidiana. Se utiliza como máquina de escribir, calculadora, calendario, reloj, sistema de comunicación, base de datos interactiva, sistema de soporte de decisiones y mucho más. En los últimos tiempos, el impulso insaciable por la tecnología ha llegado a un punto en el que los dispositivos actúan de manera inteligente. Los sistemas inteligentes se están desarrollando rápidamente para mejorar los esfuerzos humanos. Las tecnologías de inteligencia artificial (IA), impulsadas por macrodatos, están impulsando cambios sin precedentes en muchas facetas de los esfuerzos humanos. Muchos logros que utilizan técnicas de IA superan las capacidades humanas. Si las máquinas pueden reconocer el discurso y transcribirlo, tal como lo hicieron los mecanógrafos en el pasado, si las computadoras pueden identificar con precisión rostros o huellas dactilares de entre millones, si los coches se conducen solos y si los robots están peleando en guerras, entre otras cosas notables, no hay duda de que hay una forma de sortear el complejo desafío del discurso de odio. Por lo tanto, este estudio examina las posibilidades inherentes a la inteligencia artificial para mitigar el discurso de odio en Nigeria.
