Innovation and creativity

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on entrepreneurship education among students of the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. It focuses on how selected AI tools ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, and Meta AI affect students’ learning experiences, creativity, and innovative capacities within entrepreneurship courses. A cross sectional survey research design was adopted, and data were collected from one hundred (100) undergraduate students in the Department of ntrepreneurship through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including correlation and regression analyses, were employed to test the study’s hypotheses at a 5% level of significance. Findings revealed that AI tools significantly enhance entrepreneurship education by improving students’ understanding of business concepts, fostering innovative thinking, and strengthening communication and writing skills. However, challenges such as poor digital infrastructure, high data costs, limited awareness, and inadequate institutional support were identified as major barriers to effective AI integration. The study concludes that while AI technologies hold transformative potential for entrepreneurship education, their effective utilization requires strategic curriculum integration, digital capacity building, and infrastructural investment. It recommends that universities incorporate AI literacy into entrepreneurship programs, provide training for educators, and create enabling environments for students to explore AI tools responsibly and productively.
