RESUMO – Este estudo investigou as perspectivas dos estudantes sobre o uso de inteligência artificial para o desenvolvimento do jornalismo universitário na Nigéria. O estudo adotou um modelo de survey com uma população total de 169 jornalistas universitários, provenientes dos estados de Osun e Ondo. Uma amostra de 119 pessoas foi selecionada, enquanto técnicas de amostragem intencional e de bola de neve foram utilizadas para determinar a amostra. A investigação mostrou que, apesar do alto conhecimento dos estudantes sobre o uso de inteligência artificial no jornalismo universitário, há uma diferença significativa entre estudantes universitários e politécnicos em relação ao uso de inteligência artificial no jornalismo universitário. O estudo concluiu, então, que os estudantes têm uma perspectiva melhor sobre o uso de inteligência artificial no desenvolvimento do jornalismo universitário na Nigéria devido ao conhecimento de suas implicações positivas e negativas. Consequentemente, o estudo recomendou que as partes interessadas no setor de ensino superior se empenhem mais em incentivar o ensino de inteligência artificial na teoria e na prática em instituições nigerianas, particularmente em politécnicos nigerianos, devido à disparidade de perspectivas entre as universidades e politécnicos nigerianos em relação ao fenômeno.
ABSTRACT – This study examined students’ perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence for the development of campus journalism in Nigeria. The study adopted a survey design with a total population of 169 campus journalists drawn from Osun and Ondo States. A sample size of 119 was selected, while purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used in determining the sample. Investigation showed that despite students’ high awareness of the use of artificial intelligence in campus journalism, there is a significant difference between university and polytechnic students concerning the use of artificial intelligence in campus journalism. The study then concluded that students have a better perspective on using artificial intelligence in the development of campus journalism in Nigeria due to their knowledge of its positive and negative implications. Consequently, the study recommended that stakeholders in the higher education sector should do more by encouraging artificial intelligence education in theory and practice in Nigerian institutions, particularly in Nigerian polytechnics, due to the disparity in perspective between the Nigerian universities and polytechnics concerning the phenomenon.
RESUMEN – Este estudio investigó las perspectivas de los estudiantes sobre el uso de la inteligencia artificial para el desarrollo del periodismo universitario en Nigeria. El estudio adoptó un diseño de encuesta con una población total de 169 periodistas universitarios de los estados de Osun y Ondo. Se seleccionó una muestra de 119 periodistas, utilizando técnicas de muestreo intencional y de bola de nieve. La investigación mostró que, a pesar del alto nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes sobre el uso de la inteligencia artificial en el periodismo universitario, existe una diferencia significativa entre los estudiantes universitarios y politécnicos en cuanto a su uso. El estudio concluyó que los estudiantes tienen una mejor perspectiva sobre el uso de la inteligencia artificial en el desarrollo del periodismo universitario en Nigeria debido a su conocimiento de sus implicaciones positivas y negativas. En consecuencia, el estudio recomendó que los actores del sector de la educación superior fomenten en mayor medida la formación en inteligencia artificial, tanto en la teoría como en la práctica, en las instituciones nigerianas, en particular en las politécnicas nigerianas, debido a la disparidad de perspectivas entre las universidades y politécnicos nigerianos respecto a este fenómeno.
