Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Technology, Leveraging on, Sustainable Development, Economic Uncertainty.Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into electrical technology offers a transformative pathway for advancing sustainable development, particularly in economically uncertain regions like Bayelsa State, Nigeria. This study examined how AI can enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of electrical systems, focusing on its applications in areas such as smart grids, renewable energy integration, predictive maintenance, and energy optimization. In the face of economic challenges, AI has the potential to streamline energy distribution, lower operational expenses, strengthen grid resilience, and accelerate the shift to renewable energy sources. Furthermore, AI-powered systems can support decentralized energy solutions, improve real-time decision-making, and expand energy access in remote and underserved areas. The research also addressed obstacles to AI implementation, including issues related to data quality, cybersecurity, and the need for skilled personnel. Despite these hurdles, the thoughtful integration of AI into electrical technology can bolster energy security, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance economic resilience in Bayelsa State. This exploration underscored AI's pivotal role in driving sustainable development by offering innovative strategies to tackle both energy and socio-economic challenges, ultimately contributing to a greener, more equitable future. Conclusion were therefore reached and recommendations were proffered.
