| Abstract: |
This paper examined the Netizens’ perception of the influence of Artificial Intelligence in communicating government’s policies and drug law enforcement. Given rise to this study is the fact that participatory democracy requires that the citizens must be carried along, by the government, in policy formulation and implementation. The citizens need to be aware of these policies and their feedback required by the government. Supports from the citizens for the success of government policies, programmes and activities are critical issues in governance, hence the need for effective communication platform between the government and the governed. Thus drug law enforcement policies are successful to the extent that the citizens have full knowledge of the laws and the punishments against offenders. Since Artificial intelligence is widely used for education purposes and cognitive intelligence, it becomes imperative for communicating government policies and drug law enforcement. Aimed at finding out if artificial intelligence can influence citizens’ buy-in in government policies and drug enforcement, this paper will be based on the agenda-setting theory and the social responsibility theory. The study adopted a survey research approach and used the undergraduate university students in Anambra State as the population for the study. A sample of 398 undergraduate students was drawn from the population of 119,654 undergraduate university students in Anambra State. The Likert scale questionnaire type was the instrument for data collection while the data collected were presented in tables and simple frequency distribution. Results obtained from this study revealed that awareness of the use of AI in governance and drug abuse was high among the respondents. Results also revealed that the use of AI in governance can bridge the gap between the government and governed in the drug law enforcement. |
