Artificial Intelligence in Education: An Exploration into the University Teachers’ Perspectives about Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

    This was a qualitative endeavor to explore the university teachers' perspectives on opportunities and challenges regarding Artificial Intelligence in higher education. For this purpose, there were eight university teachers (from both public and private) who were sampled conveniently from the social sciences disciplines. The data have been collected with the help of a Semi-structured protocol that has been developed by the investigator(s). It comprises 10 items including one introductory and one closing question. The collected data have been analyzed with the help of the Thematic analysis. Based on the results, it is concluded that, while AI has the potential to significantly transform education, there is a clear need for more targeted support and training for educators. Addressing these challenges is crucial to fully leveraging the benefits of AI and ensuring that its integration into education enhances, rather than complicates, the teaching and learning experience.
