Abstract

This study explores the Influence of Artificial Intelligence on the Entrepreneurial Alertness of Integrated Science/Biology Students at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Ekiadolor Benin City Edo State. Three research objectives, three research Questions, and three research hypothesis were guide the study. A survey research design was adopted, employing a structured questionnaire to gather data from 40 participants. The instrument's reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.98-0.99, indicating a high level of internal consistency. A five-point Likert scale of Strongly Agreed, Agreed, Undecided, Disagreed, and Strongly Disagreed were used to measure participants' perceptions across key constructs. Data were analysed using multiple regression analysis via SPSS Version 22. The results revealed that machine learning tools and AI-chatbot significantly and positively influenced entrepreneurial alertness. These findings highlight the necessity of promoting machine learning tools and AI-chatbot within entrepreneurial ecosystems.it is recommended that Government agencies and policymakers should incorporate machine learning tools and AI-chatbot in to entrepreneurial curricular, school administrators should update integrated science biology curriculum to include experiential learning components focused on machine learning and AI-chatbot, it is also recommended that all stakeholders should implement targeted gender-responsive interventions, and policies aimed at fostering inclusivity and equal opportunity within entrepreneurial education.

Keywords: Machine learning tools, AI-chatbot, entrepreneurial alertness.
