The study examined Artificial Intelligence Integration and Teacher Professional Development for Enhancing Future-Ready Entrepreneurship Education Delivery at Federal College of Education (Technical), Ekiadolor. The study was guided by three research questions and adopted a descriptive survey design. The population comprised 195 Business Education students, with a census sampling technique applied. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of Cronbach’s alpha = 0.94, indicating high internal consistency. A total of 190 questionnaires were correctly returned (97.44% response rate). Data were analysed using mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that AI integration has a high positive influence on entrepreneurship education delivery, with mean scores ranging from 3.65 to 4.18. Respondents agreed that AI-supported tools such as simulations and digital platforms enhance teaching effectiveness and conceptual understanding. Teacher professional development showed a moderate to high influence, with mean values ranging from 3.38 to 3.76, indicating mixed effectiveness in translating training into practical classroom improvement. The combined influence of AI integration and teacher professional development recorded high perception scores (3.51–3.66), suggesting improved student confidence, relevance of instruction, and learning clarity, although entrepreneurial problem-solving and motivation remain moderately developed. The study concludes that AI integration and teacher professional development significantly enhance entrepreneurship education delivery but are not yet fully optimised. It recommends stronger integration of AI tools in instructional delivery and more practice-oriented professional development programmes. These improvements are necessary to achieve future-ready entrepreneurship education capable of fostering innovation, employability, and entrepreneurial competence among students.
