Challenges and Prospects of Using Artificial Intelligence in the Educational Process: Perspectives of University Teachers – A Field Study

Abstract

This paper revolves around the importance of the Artificial Intelligence AI in
education and the scientific research from the perspective of the teachers. In this regard, we
administered an electronic questionnaire to know about the interest of the teachers in AI, in
learning it, and in recommending it to the students. Besides, we shed light on the use of AI by
the teachers in the scientific research, and used a survey on a sample of 50 university teachers
from the different Algerian universities. Findings show that the majority of the teachers
recommend the use of AI to the students. In addition, most consider that AI is a manifestation
of the education quality. Finally, most of them neither master AI nor rely on it in their works
despite their awareness about its importance.
