The Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) is designed for implementation from the 2023/2024 academic session. CCMAS is designed for the universities. This paper discussed the roles of artificial intelligence in the implementation of the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) in universities in Nigeria. The paper used secondary data. The secondary sources of data were collected from both print and online publications. Content analysis was used to analyze the selection of literature for the study. The paper concluded that artificial intelligence can support effective teaching and implementation of CCMAS, research in CCMAS, aid effective provision of community service to the host communities and support blended learning implementation. Based on these points identified, the paper hereby recommends an increment in the funding of the universities to enable university administrators to acquire more artificial intelligence facilities and infrastructures. All academic staff should be trained on the usage and maintenance of Artificial Intelligence. The government should provide quality internet service in all universities to aid in easy connection. Artificial Intelligence facilities should be subsidized for students and lecturers.
