APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EFFECTIVE BUSINESS EDUCATION PROGRAMME
Abstract
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various sectors, including business education programme. This paper explored the Application of Artificial Intelligence for an Effective Business Education Programme, highlighting its transformative impact on teaching, learning, research, and administration. AI tools such as intelligent tutoring systems, virtual classrooms, adaptive learning platforms, and predictive analytics are enhancing personalized learning experiences, improving student engagement, and aiding business education lecturers in data-driven decision-making. Additionally, AI-powered business simulations are fostering digital literacy and problem-solving skills, equipping students with the competencies needed for the modern workforce. Furthermore, AI is streamlining administrative processes through automated grading systems and student management platforms, reducing business educators’ workload while ensuring efficiency and accuracy. However, challenges such as infrastructure deficits, limited AI literacy among business educators, and concerns over data privacy pose significant barriers to full-scale application in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Addressing these challenges requires strategic investments in AI infrastructure, continuous training for business educators, and the formulation of ethical AI policies by both federal and state governments. This paper emphasized the future prospects of AI in business education programme, advocating for collaborative efforts between policymakers, business educators, and IT companies to fully harness AI’s potential. By integrating AI-driven innovations respectively, business education programme can become more inclusive, efficient, and future-ready, ultimately preparing its students for the dynamic digital economy.
