artificial intelligence and THE SUSTAINABILITY of the teaching profession in rivers state universities

Abstract

This research borders on how the sustainability of the teaching profession will be significantly impacted by the use of artificial intelligence in Rivers State universities. In an ever-evolving world, it has become evident that technology is influential to most aspects of life like education. This implies that the education sector has undergone some changes due to the implementation of artificial intelligence. It was discovered that artificial intelligence can make a significant improvement in organisation, administration, building students capacity etc. Also, artificial intelligence can also be used hand in hand with traditional teaching methods to create an effective teaching method that is beneficial to students and less strenuous on lecturers. As such this paper explores the possibilities that could be realised if artificial intelligence is incorporated into, teaching styles of academic staff in Rivers State universities. This paper  also recognised the necessity for universities in Rivers State to adopt AI (Artificial Intelligence) to improve on their standards and efficiency. In the process of analysing this topic,  a suitable introduction is made and it contains the aims and objectives of this paper. A literature review which examines various authors' analyses of this paper’s topic is also examined. Several issues extracted from this paper include digital illiteracy, inadequate AI facilities, slow transition to AI application etc.  This paper concludes by noting the potential for universities in Rivers State to apply artificial intelligence in advancing teaching methods. Lastly, several suggestions were proffered with the major takeaway being that AI being integrated into Rivers State universities can revolutionize the educational landscape.
