The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has transformed educational practices worldwide and created new opportunities for entrepreneurship development among students. This study examined the role of AI-enhanced digital learning in promoting entrepreneurship skills among undergraduate students offering Entrepreneurship Education and Skills in Federal College of Education, Yola. Specifically, the study investigated the extent of students’ utilization of AI-enhanced digital learning platforms, examined their influence on creativity and innovation skills, assessed their effect on business planning and entrepreneurial decision-making skills, and identified challenges associated with their utilization. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population consisted of 2,272 undergraduate students offering Entrepreneurship Education and Skills across Levels I–IV in Federal College of Education, Yola. Using the Taro Yamane formula and stratified random sampling technique, a sample size of 347 respondents was selected.

The findings revealed a high level of utilization of AI-enhanced digital learning platforms among respondents. The study further established that AI-enhanced digital learning significantly enhanced creativity, innovation, business planning, and entrepreneurial decision-making skills. Statistical results indicated a significant positive relationship between AI-enhanced digital learning and entrepreneurship skills, as well as a significant predictive effect on entrepreneurial competence.
