Abstract

This study assesses the knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching and research among lecturers in the faculties of arts in Nigeria. Despite the growing recognition of AI's potential to enhance educational practices, there are significant gaps in educators' AI literacy. The research adopts a quantitative approach, surveying lecturers across Nigerian universities to gauge their awareness, engagement, and perceptions of AI integration. Results reveal a moderate level of AI awareness among respondents, with a notable interest in further training tailored to arts disciplines. Challenges such as technical barriers and limited resources hinder seamless AI integration, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support mechanisms. Recommendations include enhanced training programs, infrastructure improvement, and ethical guidelines to facilitate responsible AI utilization in arts education. Addressing these challenges and fostering AI literacy among educators can create an enabling environment for leveraging AI to enhance teaching and research outcomes in Nigerian arts faculties.
