• Abstract: Understanding teachers' perspectives on AI in Education (AIEd) is crucial for its effective integration into the educational framework. This paper aims to explore how teachers currently use AI and how it can enhance the educational process. We conducted a cross-national study spanning Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Ireland, and Armenia, surveying 1754 educators through an online questionnaire, addressing three research questions. Our first research question examines educators' understanding of AIEd, their skepticism, and its integration within schools. Most educators report a solid understanding of AI and acknowledge its potential risks. AIEd is primarily used for educator support and engaging students. However, concerns exist about AI's impact on fostering critical thinking and exposing students to biased data. The second research question investigates student engagement with AI tools from educators' perspectives. Teachers indicate that students use AI mainly to manage their academic workload, while outside school, AI tools are primarily used for entertainment. The third research question addresses future implications of AI in education. Educators are optimistic about AI's potential to enhance educational processes, particularly through personalized learning experiences. Nonetheless, they express significant concerns about AI's impact on cultivating critical thinking and ethical issues related to potential misuse. There is a strong emphasis on the need for professional development through training seminars, workshops, and online courses to integrate AI effectively into teaching practices. Overall, the findings highlight a cautious optimism among educators regarding AI in education, alongside a clear demand for targeted professional development to address concerns and enhance skills in using AI tools.
