AI Governance for Smart Cities is a six-week specialisation for the people who build, buy and oversee the algorithms now running urban life — traffic systems, surveillance cameras, public-service portals, utility networks and the data platforms beneath them. It moves past glossy “smart-city” marketing into the hard questions: who is accountable when a model misdirects an ambulance, profiles a neighbourhood, or wrongly cuts off a citizen from a service. The course is built for the Nigerian context — the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, a watching NDPC, NITDA’s national direction, and the real smart-city and transport programmes already running in Lagos, Abuja and beyond.
By the end you will be able to map where AI already governs your city, run risk and impact assessments on urban AI infrastructure, govern public surveillance and transport systems lawfully, hold vendors and agencies accountable, build public trust through transparency, and set a credible smart-city AI governance strategy.
For: State and municipal officials, urban-planning and transport authorities, smart-city programme leads, public-sector data protection officers, civil-society and oversight bodies, and the vendors and consultants who deliver urban AI.
