AI总结：
本研究以尼日利亚为例，通过安卓应用取证分析与文档分析，探究移动购物应用中AI对数字主权的影响，发现AI应用广泛但透明度不足，为理解数字主权及保护用户控制权提供了实证依据。
AI中文摘要：
尼日利亚的电商移动应用使用正在扩张，带来了机遇与风险，包括欺诈以及用户对数字技术控制权的降低，引发了对数字主权的担忧。本研究探讨尼日利亚移动应用中的人工智能（AI）如何影响数字主权，以平台透明度作为用户意识与控制权的关键指标进行考察。研究采用解释性方法，结合选定安卓应用的取证分析与情境文档分析，以识别AI功能并评估披露实践。研究结果显示，AI在这些应用中被广泛采用，但其使用的透明度仍有限。对尼日利亚的社会经济分析进一步表明，该国对消费者数字平台的依赖日益增加，AI意识处于中等水平，且互动模式不均。本研究通过提供AI透明度与平台实践的实证证据，增进了对个体数字主权的理解，并凸显了在AI驱动的数字环境中保护用户控制权面临的挑战。
英文摘要：
The use of e-commerce mobile applications is expanding in Nigeria, creating both opportunities and risks, including fraud and reduced user control over digital technologies, raising concerns about digital sovereignty. This research examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nigerian mobile applications affects digital sovereignty, examined through platform transparency as a key indicator of user awareness and control. Using an interpretive approach, the research combines the forensic analysis of selected Android applications with contextual document analysis to identify AI features and evaluate disclosure practices. The findings show that AI is widely implemented in the applications, yet transparency about its use remains limited. A socio-economic analysis of Nigeria further shows an increasing dependence on consumer digital platforms, moderate AI awareness, and uneven patterns of interaction. By providing empirical evidence on AI transparency and platform practices, this study advances understanding of individual digital sovereignty and highlights challenges for protecting user control in AI-driven digital environments.
