Tech Transition: An Exploratory Study on Educators' AI Awareness

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the levels of awareness, degree of familiarity, willingness of educators to embrace the Artificial Intelligence (AI) environment and to evaluate the potential benefits that they can have from AI in their teaching activities. Exploratory research was conducted at 14 business schools and to achieve the goals of the study, factor analysis was carried out. Four factors were identified from factor analysis which was given names based on the mean and standard deviation of factor scores. This can act as a reference for those business schools that have begun offering management education using AI or are planning to use AI in the future.
