Track: AI, Emerging Technologies and Future Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI), as an emerging technological asset in today’s world, is making undeniable waves in various endeavours of life. The impacts of AI has prompted the researcher to engage in this research set to establish the nexus between artificial intelligence and future learning in Africa using Nigerian higher institutions as the study. The work is hinged on the theory called Connectivism. The work employed survey method in generating data; and the statistical tool used is the Correlation Coefficient. The findings showed that there is strong positive relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and future learning in African higher education. Consequently, recommendations are made that governmental and non governmental agencies should prioritize introducing and funding the use of AI in teaching and learning in African higher education. The imperativeness of utilizing AI in education sector reshapes future learning in African Education (Nigeria).
