Experts discuss future trends in digital public infrastructure during the Global Digital Summit 2024.

Bisoye Coker-Odusote, Director General of Nigeria’s National Identity Management Commission, illustrated how DPI is already empowering citizens in Nigeria. Through AI-powered mobile identity systems, individuals can securely manage their data and access services, all while bridging gaps created by Nigeria’s 525 dialects. “AI helps ensure that language doesn’t further widen the marginalized gap. We’re using it to decentralize services to community levels, making information and services available in native languages.” This example of inclusive identity management highlights DPI’s ability to empower individuals by ensuring that digital transformation is accessible at the grassroots level.
