Investigating Artificial Intelligence Digital Sovereignty in Mobile Shopping Apps: A Case Study of Nigeria

A recent study from arXiv investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nigerian mobile shopping applications on digital sovereignty. The research highlights the widespread integration of AI in these applications but identifies a significant lack of transparency regarding its use, raising concerns about user control and awareness. The findings underscore the potential for fraud and reduced user agency in an expanding e-commerce landscape.

The limited transparency surrounding AI implementation in mobile applications poses risks to digital sovereignty, affecting user trust and control over personal data and online experiences. This situation has broader implications for regulatory frameworks and consumer protection in digital economies, as it highlights a potential gap between technological advancement and user empowerment.

E-commerce mobile application usage is increasing in Nigeria.
