This study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the learning outcomes of Nigerian undergraduates. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research examines the integration of AI-driven educational tools. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with students, faculty members, and educational technologists across five Nigerian institutions. Quantitative data was analyzed to assess improvements in academic performance, engagement, and retention rates, while qualitative data highlighted perceptions of AI's role in enhancing teaching and learning processes. The findings reveal that there is significant main effect of treatment (AI-based tutoring systems, and Automated grading systems) on Learning outcomes of Nigerian Undergraduate (F( ) = 43.225, p <.05,ç2=.634) and there was significant main effect of 2, 50 intelligence on Learning outcomes of Nigerian Undergraduate (F( ) = 10.711, 2, 50 p<.05,ç2=.277) result showed that there was significant relationship between Personalized learning platforms and learning outcomes among undergraduate students (r = .421, N= 550, p <.05). The findings reveal that AI tools significantly contributed to improved student learning outcomes, particularly in courses with high dropout rates and large class sizes. Students reported higher levels of engagement and personalized support, which were key factors in their academic success. The study concludes that while AI presents a transformative opportunity to enhance educational outcomes, its effective implementation in Nigerian higher education requires addressing technological and institutional challenges.
