Abstract

In Nigeria, harnessing Artificial Intelligence plays a pivotal role in human capital development. This study emphasizes the importance of utilizing Artificial Intelligence technology to drive human capital development, improve lives, and promote economic growth, healthcare, education, and the security sector in Nigeria. A qualitative research approach was adopted, using in-depth interviews with four experts from the education, healthcare, security, and AI sectors. The key findings from interviews with the experts reveal that AI can drive human development in Nigeria by improving healthcare, education, and national security. Participants highlighted the potential of AI to enhance access to quality education, improve healthcare delivery, and promote transparency and accountability in governance. While AI holds great promise for Nigeria's development, challenges such as a limited skilled workforce, inadequate infrastructure, and promoting an innovative ecosystem must be addressed to fully realize its potential. Based on these findings, this study recommends prioritizing AI development, investing in education and human training, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, and developing infrastructure to support AI development and deployment. The study's findings and recommendations will contribute to the ongoing discourse on AI and human development, providing insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners
