This study analysed rural-urban differentials in the utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for improved crop production among farmers in Nigeria. It specifically examined the level of awareness and utilisation of AI, the effect of AI usage on crop production, and the challenges associated with the awareness and utilisation of AI. 316 respondents were selected through multistage sampling, and data were analysed using descriptive statistics and OLS regression. Urban farmers (16.46%) were more aware than rural farmers (10.13%), and the awareness was more among young farmers (17.40%).
