After ten years of combating terrorism, Nigeria may be headed toward peace once more, according to Nigerian Yunusa Jibrin, who lives in the UK. He claims to have used artificial intelligence (AI) to detect bandits and their hideouts in Nigeria.

He said that if the federal government implemented his results, it would assist in focusing military efforts on locating and destroying bandits wherever they may be hiding in the nation. Jibrin, who graduated with a master's degree in computer science from the University of Sussex, said to Vanguard on Sunday that he created hundreds of images of bandits in desert landscapes using AI-driven picture synthesis. He said that his study, which used a Vision Transformer (VT) model to identify terrorist components, produced remarkably accurate early ratings.

"I used a novel strategy, utilizing AI-powered image synthesis to produce thousands of visuals showing bandits in desert landscapes, armed with firearms and vehicles."Using this combined information, I utilized a Vision Transformer model to identify terrorist components in the pictures, and I was able to obtain quite accurate early assessments," he stated.

The Gombe State computer expert, who oversaw a group of researchers from the Federal College of Education (Technical) Potiskum, offered his support and underlined the necessity of a technologically supported struggle against terrorist forces in Nigeria. He went on to say that he will work with the federal government to combat the insecurity that is impeding the nation's progress.

Plans are in place to publish and incorporate the created algorithms within the operational frameworks of the Nigerian government as part of the ongoing efforts to codify these results, he continued.
