Abstract
In order to solve the workplace-identified problems, this research major objective is to ascertain the nature and actual impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on employee’s productivity. This study adopted a descriptive survey research method through the use of primary data source instruments of questionnaires shared with over 150 employees of technological firms in Delta State. This study found that Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the workplace by greatly increasing worker engagement and productivity. The study empirically proved that Artificial Intelligence impacts positively and significantly on the sustainability of employee engagement. Secondly, the study empirically revealed that there is a positive and significant connection between Artificial Intelligence and employees' attitudes toward work in organizations. This means that the AI introduction has made employees to develop a positive work attitude in order to keep their jobs from being taking over by automation powered AI machines. The study analyses proved that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a positive and significant effect on employee’s productivity. AI may assist organizations in more efficiently accomplishing their objectives by automating repetitive processes, customizing employee experiences, and encouraging improved communication and teamwork. To guarantee that AI's advantages are fully realized, it is crucial to solve the difficulties and moral dilemmas related to its application. It was observed that Artificial Intelligence integration to the workplace must be human-centric before it can lead to more employee engagement and increase in productivity. The study concludes that the welfare of employees should always come first when using AI, making ethical issues very important. The study recommends that companies aim for a human-centric strategy, making sure AI complements human strengths rather than takes their place in the workspace.
