Abstract

This study explores the perceptions and concerns of teachers, administrators, and students regarding the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings. The objective is to examine how these key stakeholders view AI’s potential, its impact on education, and the challenges associated with its adoption. A qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with IT teachers, school administrators, and students to gather in-depth insights into their experiences and expectations of AI. The results indicate a general enthusiasm for AI’s ability to enhance personalized learning and improve administrative efficiency. However, teachers expressed concerns about the potential reduction of human interaction and job displacement, while administrators highlighted the need for clear policies, training, and resources to ensure effective integration. Students were more receptive to AI but raised issues regarding data privacy and over-reliance on technology. The findings underscore the need for educational institutions to develop comprehensive plans and ethical guidelines for AI adoption. It is concluded that while AI holds significant potential, its successful integration into education requires careful planning and stakeholder collaboration. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of AI on educational outcomes, as well as the development of teacher training programs and ethical frameworks to ensure AI is used responsibly and equitably in the classroom.
