      abstract = {The study examined skills acquisition in Artificial Intelligence in correlation with Office Technology and Management (OTM) educators’ instructional effectiveness in public polytechnics in North-East, Nigeria. It was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. Correlational research design was adopted in the study. The population of study comprised 64 OTM educators in ten public polytechnics in North-East, Nigeria. The entire population was used due to its manageable size, hence, there was no sample. Two research instruments entitled: Artificial Intelligence Skills Acquisition Test (AISAT) and Instructional Effectiveness Rating Scale (IERS) were used for data collection. Both instruments were validated by experts and tested for reliability using K-R 20 for AISAT and Cronbach Alpha Coefficient for IERS.  The result obtained for AISAT was 0.79, while IERS had reliability coefficient of 0.86. These results indicate that the instruments are suitable for use in the study. Data collected were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) to answer the research questions, while the null hypotheses were tested using regression. Findings revealed that there is a high positive relationship between the variables. Furthermore, the relationship between AI-powered writing assistance skills and OTM educators’ instructional effectiveness is statistically significant. Also, the relationship between online learning management skills and OTM educators’ instructional effectiveness in public polytechnics in North-East, Nigeria is statistically significant. The study recommended that there should be training sessions and workshops to enhance OTM educators' proficiency in AI to enable them function effectively in the use of AI for instructional purposes.},
