Abstract

This study explores the educational benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in teaching. It reviews basic AI concepts and types, aiming to enhance understanding and promote effective use in educational environments. A survey conducted at selected universities achieved an 82.7% participation rate, indicating reliable results. It found that 94.1% of teachers had a good understanding of AI, while only 37 had participated in training courses. Approximately 60 teachers expressed interest in such training. Additionally, 86.5% felt confident using AI tools, though 23.1% faced technical challenges. Overall, 94.3% viewed AI as an effective tool for improving education quality, and 98.1% advocated for including AI courses in academic training
