AN ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
This study examined the role of artificial intelligence in Nigeria’s educational system.
Artificial intelligence is an expert system that helps in the delivery of lessons and
instructional materials content in classrooms. It was observed that the forms of
educational technology applied in Nigerian classrooms are medieval, and it advocated
for modern enlightenment on the delivery of instructional materials content. Available
studies have concentrated on the impact of ICT and Expert systems on the academic
performance of primary, secondary, and tertiary education without considering the
practical use of Artificial Intelligence systems on the performance of teachers’ duties.
Therefore, this study examined artificial intelligence as a tool for improving the
the education system in Nigeria, the challenges of artificial intelligence in Nigeria, the role of Artificial Intelligence in the Nigerian educational system, and recommendations that Artificial Intelligence should be taught in the school curriculum in Nigeria and special training should be made for teachers on the use of Artificial Intelligence.
