he Alliance Against Corruption (AAC) Executive Director Noel Chisebe has called on the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) in collaboration with law enforcement agencies to clamp down on individuals that are abusing Artificial Intelligence (AI) by spreading hate against other people.
Dr Chisebe expressed concern with the recent misuse of AI in the country, particularly the circulation of fake images, videos and voice notes that were causing harm and distress to individuals including some prominent people.
Speaking to thw media in Kabwe in an interview, Dr Chisebe cited the recent image of the Republican President in a coffin, stressing that the act was totally unacceptable and raises moral questions about the motive behind it.
“As a Christian Nation, Zambia deserves better interaction, politically and socially. Let’s protect our legacy and stability. Technology should unite and uplift, not harm or divide us. We call on citizens to use the digital platforms responsibly and report any instances of AI abuse to ZICTA and officers of the law,” he said.
He urged citizens to use the AI positively in promoting unity and development, rather than spreading harmful and divisive content.
Dr Chisebe observed that the rise of fake and manipulated content was a threat to the integrity of the country and the upcoming 2026 General Elections.
He called upon ZICTA and other law enforcement agencies to enforce the cyber security and cybercrimes act of 2025 firmly to curb the vice and make anyone that may be found wanting accountable.
The cyber security and cybercrimes act of 2025 is illegal. Laws aren’t supposed to interfere with citizens’ rights. This law is against freedom of expression. That’s why Emmannuel Mwamba has been welcomed in the US and we will never get him extradited
