UTILIZATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) POWERED VEHICLES AND MACHINES IN IMO STATE: THEIR POTENCY AND CHALLENGES IN EXECUTING VARIOUS TASKS

ABSTRACT

The study examined the extent of utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered vehicles and machines in Imo State, assessing their potency and challenges in executing various tasks. Descriptive survey design was adopted to carry out this research. The targeted population for the study comprised all Auto-mobile workers and social scientists in Imo State. The stratified sampling technique was used to select 10 Auto-mobile workers and 30 workers and social scientists in 3 senatorial districts; this gave a sample size of 120 respondents, which was used to carry out this research. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Artificial Intelligence Powered Vehicles and Machines Questionnaire (AIPVMQ)”. Face and content validation of the instrument was carried out by an expert in test, measurement, and evaluation in order to ensure that the instrument has the accuracy, appropriateness, and completeness for the study under consideration. The reliability coefficient obtained was 0.83, and this was high enough to justify the

use of the instrument. The researcher subjected the data generated for this study to appropriate statistical techniques, such as descriptive analysis, which was used to answer the research questions. The result of the data analysis revealed that “Autonomous Driving (Task Execution in Navigation and Safety)” was the most prominent potency of AI-powered vehicles in executing various tasks, while “Manufacturing and Automation” was the most prominent potency of AI-powered machines in executing various tasks. The study concluded that by fostering innovation and responsible AI adoption, Imo State can leverage these technologies to drive sustainable development, improve service delivery, and enhance overall industrial efficiency. One of the recommendations made was that the government and private sector should prioritize the development of infrastructure, including stable power supply, high-speed internet, and improved road networks.
