Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining global attention due to its potential benefits in various sectors, primarily the education sector. Egypt is gradually realising the importance of such integration; however, there is limited research on the AI readiness levels of stakeholders, particularly in Higher Education (HE). This research aims to assess the AI readiness levels of faculty from three different types of universities in Egypt (public/private/non-profit) to provide valuable insights. The research also focuses on other dimensions of AI readiness, such as technological literacy and demographics. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with 46 faculty members. The findings indicate that 87% of participants demonstrated high levels of AI readiness. Technological literacy plays a significant role in AI readiness, while demographics are unrelated. Further research is recommended on other stakeholders to build a solid basis for policymakers to adopt AI in HE.
期刊介绍：
Higher Education Quarterly publishes articles concerned with policy, strategic management and ideas in higher education. A substantial part of its contents is concerned with reporting research findings in ways that bring out their relevance to senior managers and policy makers at institutional and national levels, and to academics who are not necessarily specialists in the academic study of higher education. Higher Education Quarterly also publishes papers that are not based on empirical research but give thoughtful academic analyses of significant policy, management or academic issues.
