Abstract
Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the best way to prepare ourselves for the future.Despite its growing interest, AI is still poorly understood in different domains.We need to understand AI so that we can regulate the risks of the technology and take better advantage of its benefits.It's therefore necessary to first prepare teachers so that they can also prepare students for the AI era.This paper analyzes teachers' perceptions regarding the implementation of AI-based learning tools, such as generative natural language, after attending a training course.We describe the training course design and development.We followed a case study approach with a mixed method data analysis.Data was collected from participants in the training course through online questionnaires, and a semi-structured interview.From the results collected, we highlight the need that teachers feel to have more in-depth training on the use of AI in their practices.
