The rise of artificial intelligence in the education sector has brought forth both promising opportunities and formidable challenges for teachers in the 21st century. This research paper examines the impact of AI technologies on the roles and responsibilities of teachers, highlighting the potential benefits as well as the obstacles that must be overcome. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, the study explores the key areas where AI can complement and enhance the teaching profession, such as personalized learning, assessment, and administrative tasks. Furthermore, the paper delves into the challenges posed by the integration of AI in education, including the pressing need for comprehensive teacher training to equip educators with the skills and knowledge required to effectively leverage these emerging technologies, the critical importance of addressing potential biases and privacy concerns inherent in AI-powered systems, and the fundamental necessity of maintaining the human touch and personalized approach that defines the essence of teaching. The findings of this research aim to inform educational policymakers, school administrators, and teachers themselves on the transformative potential of AI in education and the strategies required to ensure a smooth and beneficial integration that empowers teachers and enhances student learning.
