    Ethical Leadership and Artificial Intelligence Governance: Comparative Perspectives and Implications for Africa’s Development
    (Journal of Law & Policy Review, 2025) Chukwudi, Celestine Ekene; Obadiah, Daniel Pastor; Okafor, Celestine Ogechukwu; Isaac, Grace Ugochi
    The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents both transformative opportunities and significant ethical challenges for leadership and governance in Africa. This study examined ethical leadership and governance in the AI era, employing a comparative approach with a focus on Africa's development trajectory. Employing a documentary research design and secondary sources of data, thematic analysis was employed as the analytical technique. Thematic Analysis is among the most widely used qualitative data analysis techniques, providing a framework for data analysis based on the identification, analysis, and interpretation of patterns of meaning present in datasets. The analysis demonstrates that while AI has enormous potential to enhance public service delivery, governance effectiveness, and socioeconomic transformation, its use in African contexts is constrained by weak regulatory capability, fragmented governance frameworks, and insufficient ethical monitoring. A comparative analysis of global AI governance models reveals that institutional arrangements and leadership ideals are crucial in determining whether AI systems exacerbate inequality, bias, and democratic weaknesses or promote accountability, inclusivity, and public trust. The study recommended that African governments should invest in moral AI research and build regulatory sandboxes for controlled experimentation and policy development. Interdisciplinary advisory boards, including ethicists, technologists, and community representatives, should be institutionalised to guide AI governance.

    Artificial Intelligence in Modern Warfare: Navigating the Complexities of Ethical Decision-Making in the Face of Uncertainty
    (Power System Technology Volume 49 Issue 2, 2025-05-22) Osimen Goddy U.; Ayankoya Abimbola Rachel; Edokpa Fadal Mary; Ade-Ibijola Aderemi Opeyemi
    The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into military operations significantly impacts international peace, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its implications by the international community, scholars, and policymakers. This study examines the ethical issues surrounding AI in modern warfare, with a focus on accountability, particularly in autonomous system failures. Anchored on technological determinism theory, this qualitative study analyzes secondary data from credible sources, including online resources, textbooks, journal articles, conference proceedings, and newspapers. Thematic analysis reveals that the increasing use of AI in warfare raises profound ethical questions about accountanbility, human dignity, and the future of conflict. The study recommends the establishment of a global framework to regulate the military use of artificial intelligence in their operations
