About Me

I am an AI researcher and entrepreneur dedicated to bridging the gap between advanced technology and human safety. As the founder of Linnexus AI Institute, I have successfully trained professionals and youths in Nigeria (including a high-impact pilot in Jos) on leveraging Generative AI for economic resilience. My current focus is shifting toward AI Safety and Governance, where I am conducting independent research to mitigate the existential risks of unchecked AI deployment in emerging markets.

Mitigating Systemic Risks of Unchecked AI Deployment

For regrantors looking for evidence of our fieldwork capacity: In August 2025, I single-handedly led a strategic partnership with PLASMIDA (Plateau State Microfinance Development Agency) to train over 100 professionals and youth on Generative AI.

This wasn't just a basic workshop; we engaged a high-level cohort of lawyers, engineers, and entrepreneurs in Jos. You can see the scale of that engagement and the formal partnership in action here:

The $8,000 research project I am proposing now leverages this exact high-trust network. We are returning to these 100+ professionals to conduct Action Research, monitoring how their deployment of AI has evolved and identifying the 'Existential Leaks' that global policy currently overlooks."

To provide context on my ability to execute this research: In August 2025, I personally partnered with PLASMIDA to design and lead a comprehensive Generative AI training program. I singlehandedly trained over 100 professionals and youth in Plateau State, building a high-trust network that is already actively using these tools.

Here is the link to the project:
