Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Educational Leadership for Sustainable Development in Nigeria

Abstract

The critical role education plays in accomplishing the aforementioned developmental objectives, the importance of artificial intelligence and educational leadership in today's society cannot be understated in the pursuit of sustainable development. Sadly, there are a number of obstacles that Nigerian educational authorities must overcome in order to fully utilize AI for sustainable growth especially in North-Centra. Given the roles that teachers play in the delivery of educational services, this has not only adversely affected their efficacy but also prevented them from achieving the goals of education in the nation to the fullest extent possible. This paper provided insights into how to use educational leadership and artificial intelligence to achieve sustainable development in North-Central, Nigeria and Nigeria as a whole. This paper specifically looked at artificial intelligence, sustainable development and educational leadership. Additionally, by highlighting the functions of artificial intelligence and its implications for sustainable development, the paper emphasized the necessity of artificial intelligence-fortified educational leadership for sustainable development. Additionally, it takes into account the mitigating strategies, which include providing infrastructure and funding, technical expertise, policies and regulations, ethical concerns, public awareness, and education to address them, as well as the associated challenges, which include inadequate infrastructure and funding, a lack of technical expertise among educators and educational administrators, a lack of policies and regulations, and a lack of public awareness.
