This study investigated teaching students artificial intelligence tools required for digital entrepreneurship to acquire decent employments in selected Rivers State tertiary institutions. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested. The study design used was a descriptive survey. There were 123 lecturers in the population, hence a census survey sampling was used. Three professionals validated the data gathering questionnaire, which had four response possibilities. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the instrument's reliability, and the results showed coefficients of 0.76 and 0.75. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the two research questions and measure the spread in respondents` opinions, while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the two null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that those AI tools to teach students are very highly required for digital entrepreneurship activities and shown very highly, how digital entrepreneurship learned via AI tools will lead to decent emploments. Consequently, it was concluded that if AI tools are included in the curriculum, it will transform the programme positively, lead to AI skills development and enable the students to engage in digital entrepreneurship activities to create decent employments. Among other things, it was recommended that AI tools should be included in office information management, business education and entrepreneurship curricula through yearly internal curriculum review by lecturers in collaboration with their institutions and five years national review by all levels of government.
