Grispos and Qureshi (2608.06364, submitted 2026-08-06) examine how AI embedded in Nigerian e-commerce mobile applications affects digital sovereignty, as app adoption expands alongside fraud risk and diminishing user control over the underlying technology. The framing treats sovereignty as an app-level, empirically checkable property rather than a national policy abstraction. It is a useful counterweight to AI-governance work written entirely from a US/EU regulatory vantage point, though as a single-country case study its conclusions do not generalize on their own.
