It gives room for many opportunities and balances innovation with human values. This paper examines the attitude of undergraduates of Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji to AI for learning. It expands young peoples’ ideas on where learning can occur and provides support for developmental skills and accelerated opportunities. Qualitative and quantitative method of analysis were used for the research.
