    Artificial Intelligence Politicking and Human Rights Violations in UK’s Democracy: A Critical Appraisal of the Brexit Referendum
    (2021-01) Wogu Ikedinachi Ayodele Power; Misra Sanjay; Udoh Oluwakemi D.; Agoha Benedict Chico
    Following the testimonies of Shaimaire Sanni about the negative wanton use of artificial intelligence (AI) politicking approaches by the Vote-leave group during the 2016 Brexit referendum, the decision by Great Britain (GB) to leave the European Union (EU) had stirred up heated controversies about what would have really been the outcome of the Brexit deal if the Vote-leave group had not cheated with AI politicking systems. Hence, the act of cheating via this platform and the violation of Brexit spending regulations, human rights activists (HRA) like Sanni and Wylie believed, delegitimize the results of the votes obtained for Brexit and for UK’s institutions of democracy. Others argue that the allegations raised against the Brexit referendum process justify the agitations for a second Brexit referendum by a section of UK citizens. The Marxian alienation theory and Derrida’s critical and analytical method for evaluating qualitative data and arguments gathered on the subject matter of the paper were adopted, with the view to ascertaining the degree of AI politicking approaches that altered the results of UK’s Brexit referendum. Marilyn’s ex-post facto research method was also utilized for interrogating the integrity of UK’s democracy in the light of the allegations raised against it. The study observed that most of the allegations raised against UK’s Brexit referendum process had merits to their claims, thus justifying their request for a fresh referendum. A positive implementation of AI politicking methods from ethical perspectives was recommended against the current reckless methods adopted by political campaigners.

    Rising Global Challenges in Energy Demand and the Politics of Climate Change in Government Operations: Policy and Economic Development Implications
    (Research Anthology on Environmental and Societal Impacts of Climate Change, 2022-01) Njie Sharon; Wogu Ikedinachi Ayodele Power; Ogbuehi Uchenna Kingsley; Misra Sanjay; Udoh Oluwakemi D.
    While most governments subscribe to boosting global energy supplies since it paves the way for improved economies, which translates to better living conditions and gainful employments which in turn boost government operations, the rising global demand for energy from all human endeavors have activated unparalleled consequences on the environment, resulting to harmful repercussions for government operations and processes all over the world. Hence, scholars argue that the rising demand for global energy by industrialized nations have further increased the vulnerability of governments' operations and processes, especially in countries where these energy sources abound. Consequently, governments, multinationals, and various interest groups are divided on how best to address the quandaries resulting from rising global demand for energy and its effect on the environment and government operations. Recommendations that would enhance government operations were proposed.
