Abstract
The study examined application of artificial intelligence in effectiveness of adult learning in adult education centre in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State. Three research questions guided the study. Ex-Post Facto research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised of 120 respondents in adult education centre, Calabar South. All the 120 respondents formed the sample of the study. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire tagged “Application of Artificial Intelligence in Effectiveness of Adult Learning Questionnaire” (AAIEALQ). The reliability of the instrument was established with Cronbach Alpha Reliability Method with an internal consistency of 0.80. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation). The result revealed that the extent of application of narrow artificial intelligence and limited memory artificial intelligence in adult learning is very low with average mean and standard deviation of 1.90 and 1.87 respectively below the criterion mean of 2.50. The result also revealed that the level of effectiveness of adult learning is low. Based on this result, it was recommended that the Government should equip adult education centres with infrastructures that will enhance the application of artificial intelligence in adult learning for improved learning effectiveness.
