Abstract
This paper explores the future impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the Nigerian educational system, highlighting both its transformative potential and the challenges it presents. AI holds promise in areas like personalized learning, efficient administrative systems, and data-driven decision-making. However, its implementation raises critical concerns, such as the digital divide, data privacy issues, and the risk of over-reliance on technology. By examining AI’s current state, future trends, and integration barriers, this paper provides a roadmap for AI adoption in Nigeria’s educational landscape. Additionally, it suggests frameworks for ethical AI application, assesses barriers, and offers recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders to maximize AI’s positive impacts while addressing potential drawbacks.
