Abstract
The paper x-rayed teacher capacity building program in the era of artificial intelligence as an option for re-orienting teachers for daily activities. The paper contends that integration of Artificial Intelligence into education is changing the traditional roles of teachers and learning processes. The paper discussed the paradigm shift introduced by Artificial Intelligence into the current education system in Nigeria and elsewhere. It explains concept of teacher’s capacity building as a veritable tool for teacher re-orienting in the era of Artificial intelligence and identified types of teacher capacity building programs for AI-integration, and the benefits of teachers’ capacity building in the AI era. The paper observes that the introduction of integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the education sector has brought about profound changes in teaching, learning, and school administration. It therefore argued that if teachers must cope with the emerging technology, they must be retrained to discharge their roles. In all, the paper among other things suggests that the government should allocate adequate funding for regular and structured teacher’s capacity building programs focused on AI and digital technologies and that educational institutions should be equipped with modern ICT facilities, including computers, and AI-powdered tools.
