Abstract :

This paper delves into the connection between artificial intelligence (ai) and the field of psychology in Nigeria, examining how ai can be utilized to tackle the nation's mental health issues and advance psychological research. Artificial intelligence (ai) is gradually becoming integrated into psychological practice in Nigeria, presenting both exciting opportunities and unique challenges. With less than 10% of Nigerians having access to proper mental health services, there is an immediate need for creative solutions to address this significant gap. Ai presents promising prospects, including the use of ai-powered chabot for psychological assistance, machine learning algorithms for analyzing mental health patterns, and personalized educational tools to enhance learning results. Nevertheless, the integration of AI into psychology in Nigeria encounters substantial obstacles, such as inadequate technological infrastructure, a scarcity of AI expertise, and ethical dilemmas like data privacy and algorithmic bias. Furthermore, the cultural diversity of Nigeria calls for the creation of culturally sensitive artificial intelligence solutions to guarantee their effectiveness and acceptance. This research emphasizes the transformative power of AI in psychology, underscoring its potential to revolutionize mental health care, advance psychological research, and enhance educational practices. The paper concludes by suggesting policy changes, research initiatives, and practical strategies for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to overcome existing obstacles and establish a supportive framework for the ethical and efficient utilization of ai in psychology. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, Nigeria can make substantial progress in enhancing mental health outcomes and promoting overall societal well-being.
