ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the administration of tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State. It explores how AI tools streamline processes such as admissions, staffing, finance, and resource allocation. The study highlights improvements in administrative efficiency and decision-making through AI adoption. Digital libraries and academic support systems have also benefited from AI-driven innovations. However, infrastructural deficits and limited technical skills pose significant challenges. The study concluded that AI enhances efficiency by automating routine tasks, improving data management, and supporting strategic decision-making. Its application in resource management ensures optimal allocation and transparency in operations. The study also recommended that tertiary institutions should invest in modern AI infrastructure to support automation and data management.
