Additionally, 42 percent of respondents reported using generative AI several times a week, primarily for research purposes (67 percent) and time-saving benefits (81 percent).<\/p>\n<p>However, the survey underscored the need for increased user education, particularly regarding the risks posed by deepfake technology. KnowBe4 Africa emphasized the importance of understanding the potential dangers associated with AI tools, despite their significant opportunities for users and organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of the survey shed light on the evolving landscape of AI adoption in Africa and the imperative of promoting responsible usage and awareness among users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent survey conducted by KnowBe4 Africa has revealed that 75 percent of Nigerians are comfortable sharing their personal information with Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, marking the highest level of trust among the countries studied.
