Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is gradually transforming chemistry education through modern approaches that boost educational processes and experimental practices as well as problemsolving methods. AI tools such as virtual labs, ChatGPT, and predictive modeling systems enhance learning by offering interactive and customized educational experiences to students. This paper explores the applications, benefits, and challenges of AI in chemistry education, focusing on its role in simplifying complex concepts, improving laboratory simulations, and fostering data-driven experimentation. However, concerns persist regarding accessibility, the digital divide, and the diminishing emphasis on hands-on practical skills—key issues in Nigeria’s education system. Additionally, ethical challenges such as data privacy and algorithmic biases in scientific analysis raise critical questions about AI’s reliability. By examining these dynamics, this paper highlights strategies for integrating AI responsibly in chemistry education, ensuring it complements traditional learning while addressing infrastructural gaps and preserving essential experimental skills.
