Background of the Study
Financial literacy is a critical skill for economic empowerment, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt. Despite its importance, financial literacy levels in Nigeria remain low, particularly in rural areas, limiting access to financial services and economic opportunities. Cooperative societies, which play a significant role in fostering economic inclusion in Nigeria, often encounter challenges in educating their members about financial management.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered tools provide an innovative approach to enhancing financial literacy. These tools utilize conversational AI, personalized learning algorithms, and gamification to deliver tailored financial education programs. For instance, AI chatbots can provide real-time financial advice, while mobile applications can offer interactive lessons on budgeting and investment strategies. By leveraging AI, cooperative societies can bridge knowledge gaps and empower their members to achieve financial independence.
This study examines the role of AI-powered tools in improving financial literacy among members of cooperative societies in Kwara State. It aims to demonstrate how technology can be harnessed to address systemic challenges in financial education and promote economic empowerment.
