UNIVERSITY TEACHERS' AWARENESS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) at the university level, with a specific focus on HEC-recognized universities in Pakistan. The objectives included the identification of EMIS components and assessing awareness and usage of AI-based programs. A sample of 182 professors participated in the study, providing data through a three-point rating scale administered via Google Docs. Statistical analysis revealed varying levels of awareness and usage across different EMIS components. Findings indicate significant awareness among respondents, particularly regarding admission, educational, and library management systems. However, usage rates varied, with systems like classroom and course management showing higher utilization. This study underscores the importance of enhanced implementation and awareness initiatives to maximize the potential of EMIS and AI in improving educational management in Pakistan's universities.
