Afeez Abiodun Adisa
Mechanical Wastewater Process Engineer | Project Management Specialist | Youth Development Leader
Afeez Abiodun Adisa is a Mechanical Wastewater Process Engineer, Project Management Specialist, and youth development leader focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), critical thinking, digital inclusion, and sustainable development. With over five years of professional experience, he brings a practical, multidisciplinary perspective to how emerging technologies can empower young people and advance Africa's development.
He holds a Higher National Diploma and a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and has been admitted to pursue a PhD at Louisiana State University (LSU), USA. His experience spans water and wastewater treatment, engineering project delivery, and infrastructure development, with a strong interest in how automation, data-driven decision-making, and AI can improve engineering practice and address environmental challenges.
Beyond engineering, Afeez is an active youth leader and mentor. He serves as Chairman (Head) of the Employability and Empowerment Committee, NYCN MOSAN Okunola; Team Lead, Lead and Mentor; Head, Finance and Sponsorship Committee, Academic Excellence Initiative; and Sponsorship Lead, GMP Youth Professional Program.
Afeez believes AI literacy must go beyond generating content and automating tasks. It must equip young people to question AI-generated information, recognise bias and misinformation, protect their digital rights, and make independent, informed decisions. For him, the measure of AI empowerment is whether young people can use these tools without surrendering their ability to think critically and exercise sound judgement.
His vision is a generation of African professionals and young leaders who combine technological competence with ethical responsibility, creativity, and a commitment to sustainable development, where AI strengthens human intelligence and expands opportunity.

Would You Tell AI Your Secrets? Privacy, Power and the Price of Convenience
Every day, people turn to artificial intelligence for advice, answers and assistance. We share our CVs to improve job prospects, upload documents to save time, disclose personal struggles to seek guidance, and enter sensitive information into AI tools without always knowing what happens to it afterwards. Convenience is winning but at what cost?
Would You Tell AI Your Secrets? is an interactive conversation exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, privacy, data protection and digital rights. It asks a question that every AI user should consider: when we exchange personal information for convenience, do we fully understand what we are giving away?
Bringing together perspectives from AI practice, digital rights and education, the session will examine how AI services handle user information, what meaningful consent looks like, and how individuals can make informed decisions about sharing personal data. Through relatable scenarios, audience polls and live challenges, participants will confront everyday dilemmas involving CVs, academic records, confidential documents and sensitive personal conversations.
Beyond individual responsibility, the discussion will examine the power imbalance between users and technology providers, the limits of privacy notices, and the roles of companies, regulators, institutions and civil society in protecting people's rights. The session will move beyond fear and technical jargon to explore practical questions:
The AI Agency Gap: Are We Teaching Young Africans to Use AI or to Think With it?
DESCRIPTION
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of how people learn, work, create, communicate and make decisions. Yet conversations about AI inclusion often focus on access: devices, connectivity, platforms and digital skills.
But access does not necessarily create agency.
A young person may have access to powerful AI tools while lacking the ability to question an AI-generated answer, recognise bias, protect personal data, verify information or decide when AI should and should not be trusted.
This fireside chat explores the emerging AI Agency Gap: the gap between having access to artificial intelligence and having the knowledge, critical capacity, rights and confidence to exercise meaningful agency when using it.
Bringing together perspectives from technology, digital rights, education, research and youth development, the conversation will examine how AI can expand opportunity while also creating new forms of dependency, inequality and exclusion.
The central question is: If AI can increasingly write for us, search for us, recommend for us and influence decisions for us, what must humans still learn to do for themselves? The session will move from AI access to AI literacy, from AI literacy to agency, and from agency to rights and accountability while asking what it means for Africans not merely to consume AI, but to participate in shaping the digital future.
