The sample size of the population is 150 respondents. In this study, multistage sampling technique involved cluster, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to arrive at the selection of the desired respondents. It was found that 19.4 percent of the respondent agreed that high cost of implementation is one of the challenges hindering the implementation of AI-driven data management systems in their institution, 17.3 percent of the respondents averred that inadequate infrastructure and internet connectivity is another challenge, 20.1 percent of the respondents were of the view that lack of skilled personnel is also another challenge, 9.0 percent of the respondents averred that resistance to change among staff, 21.5 percent of the respondents were of the opinion that insufficient government funding and policy support are other challenges. Providing continuous artificial intelligence training and capacity building for staff would help in integrating AI into data processing and management to enhance institutional efficiency, security, and decision-making within government-owned colleges of education also implementing robust cyber security measures to protect artificial intelligence-driven data systems would also help in integrating AI into data processing and management in institution.
