Among the new technologies, the application and usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is increasingly regarded as a key driver of educational innovation and creativity in the 21st century. However, it is also highly important to ensure and support the continuous professional development of teachers with reference to AI, since the emergence and implementation of new technologies demand and require new competencies, roles, and a transformation in the teachers' attitudes.

The Need to Educate People about AI
65-76Views:284The rise of artificial intelligence can be felt in all areas of life. The technology, which has been continuously developing since the 1950s, has gradually entered everyday life unnoticed by most people. With the appearance of Chat GPT, launched by Open AI, which exploded in the fall of 2022, events accelerated, and we are getting more and more information about the operation of AI. All areas of education have responded to these changes, to different degrees and speeds depending on the country. The fundamental task of education is to prepare students for life and to provide them with usable knowledge. Professionals working in education, and educational researchers are constantly looking for ways to prepare students for a world that we do not yet know, but one thing is certain: AI will be a determining factor in it. Knowledge about the opportunities and dangers inherent in AI is slowly being incorporated into the curriculum, and the first condition for this is that teachers are also adequately trained in this area. In this study, I analyze the topic based on the literature on the use of AI in education and the preparedness of professionals to see how ready education is for a world where AI literacy will be, or already is, a fundamental condition for competitiveness.
