If Nigerian journalism helped train AI systems, Nigerian journalists deserve to know how that happened, under what legal authority it occurred and whether compensation is owed.

Those questions are part of ensuring that technological innovation does not come at the expense of those who create the knowledge on which it depends.

Nigerian journalists and media organisations should document instances where AI-generated content reproduces or closely mirrors their original reporting without attribution or licensing and submit that evidence to the FCCPC.

The FCCPC, in turn, should publish interim findings identifying the practices under investigation, the legal basis for its conclusions, the remedies proposed for each company and the timeline for enforcement.

Nigeria should also work through the African Union to develop a continental framework governing AI training, licensing and compensation for African content creators because AI companies operate across borders, and protecting African journalism will ultimately require African rules rather than isolated national responses.
