Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education administration offers transformative potential for enhancing efficiency, decision-making, and ultimately, effective management. In Cameroon, a nation actively pursuing digital transformation, the application of AI, particularly predictive analytics, in higher education institutions (HEIs) is gaining traction. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of administrators' use of AI to predict effective management in Cameroonian higher education. It explores the current landscape of AI adoption, the benefits and challenges of its implementation, the ethical considerations involved, and the regulatory framework. Drawing on up-to-date statistics and recent academic literature, this paper argues that while AI presents significant opportunities for optimizing administrative processes, improving student outcomes, and fostering institutional growth, its successful and ethical deployment hinges on addressing critical infrastructural, financial, and human capacity gaps.
