The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has urged Nigerians to understand that as they embrace technology, they should not forget their creator.
Hazmat made this remark at the fourth Annual Ramadan Lecture/Iftar and Special Prayer in Memory of Late Oba Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat, organised by Member of the Federal House of Representatives, Mushin Constituency II, Hon. Moses Oluwatoyin Fayinka held at Mushin, Lagos.
He stated that as religious leaders, they should let their members understand the influence of Artificial intelligence (AI) on humanity and how they can caution their children by letting them know that they can use AI advancement in a godly manner and be religious.
The Deputy Governor added that AI has advanced tremendously and clerics should seek ways to pass the message and let the people know that human beings are not controlled by chips or machines but by the Almighty God.
Speaking on the relevance of the event, the Deputy Governor emphasised the importance of children remembering their parents even in death, as it helps to honour them and preserve the legacy they have set while living.
Earlier in his speech, the Organiser of the Special Prayer, a Member of the Federal House of Representatives, Mushin Constituency II, Hon. Oluwatoyin Fayinka urged the Muslim faithful to coexist peacefully and extend love and affection to everyone, irrespective of their faiths.
