Hassan Musa

Abstract


In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics has garnered significant attention, particularly in higher education. This study explores how Christian scholars can leverage AI tools to combat corruption in Colleges of Education within Nigeria's North West Zone. It highlights key ethical challenges in these institutions, including financial mismanagement and fraudulent student admissions. By examining both the opportunities and risks associated with AI integration, this discussion proposes practical reforms to enhance institutional integrity. The relevance of this inquiry lies in its response to the pressing need for ethical accountability in the education system, fostering a collaborative effort among Christian academics to cultivate a culture of integrity. Ultimately, this study contributes to the broader discourse on AI as a transformative tool for ethical advancement in higher education.
