Exploring Artificial Intelligence-Powered Spiritually for Moral Rejuvenation in Nigeria: Challenges, Prescriptions and Prospects

Abstract

Nigeria confronts a number of moral issues, including corruption at every level of society, ethnic and religious tensions that lead to bloodshed, violations of human rights, gender inequality, and widespread poverty. These concerns frequently intersect and intensify each other, posing significant challenges to the country's social fabric and growth. The article aims to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can provide individualized spiritual direction, boost community interaction, and support moral development. The paper argues that Nigeria can overcome challenges such as cultural preferences, ethical considerations, and potential opposition to technological advances in spiritual activities. The article employs critical literature review and phenomenological methods and reveals that using AI to investigate spirituality as a means of moral revitalization in Nigeria presents both obstacles and opportunities. It recommends incorporating artificial intelligence into religious education, establishing digital ethics, and encouraging inclusion. It concludes that a careful implementation of AI and ongoing conversation are necessary to successfully negotiate challenges and ensure an ethical and culturally appropriate integration of the Nigerian state.
