Abstract
Advancements in digital technology have transformed higher education and healthcare. Artificial intelligence (AI), which includes robotics, chatbots, and data analytics, is increasingly being integrated into health services within academic institutions. However, the adoption of AI in Nigerian teaching hospitals is still in its early stages compared to that in developed countries. This study examined AI adoption strategies in Nigerian teaching hospitals and their impact on healthcare delivery. Using a descriptive survey design with a quantitative approach, the study employed a structured questionnaire. The study population consisted of health workers at selected teaching hospitals in Nigeria. Four teaching hospitals were chosen by the researcher: two located in the north and two in the south. A total of 200 health workers were purposively selected, with 50 participants from each hospital. The study found that many health workers in teaching hospitals are quite familiar with various AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Copilot, chatbots, and others, which they sometimes use for research, medical diagnosis, and administrative workflow. The usage pattern indicated a low adoption rate among health workers in Nigerian teaching hospitals, particularly in the area of health record management. Consequently, this study highlights the importance of institutional support for AI and emphasizes the need to prioritize AI adoption in teaching hospitals. The study recommended that teaching hospitals in Nigeria establish clear policies and frameworks to guide AI adoption, particularly in health record management, among other areas.
