Abstract
Advancement of computing power has radically changed our lives. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the world through the way we use data and machines. The study therefore discussed about Artificial Intelligence and Human Interactions in Nigeria, it examined its theory and the potential applications of AI in human life, by accessing the awareness, benefits and risks of its application. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and applied a quantitative survey methodology using self-administered questionnaire to collect data from a total of 60 potential sampled respondents in selected Industries and Institutions in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The findings revealed that employees in Nigeria are aware that AI solves the problem of uncertainty in the engineering field and has a simple structure that is easy to understand. AI is an effective way of controlling machines, provides solutions to various industrial problems, perform their tasks with 99.9% accuracy that humans cannot possibly match but could displace many existing jobs, seems dangerous if organisations use AI unethically. However, development of AI for societal benefits and Technical Education will be hampered if the concerns of covering privacy and security protection for personal data are not properly addressed by formulating appropriate policies, laws and regulations. The study hereby recommends coordination amongst various ministries in Nigeria to supervise AI applications. Government agencies, policymakers and practitioners should formulate a comprehensive regulation to control the usage of AI technology. Authorities operating in e-business environments need to create proper rules and regulations to make the systems secure.
