Perceptions of Primary School Principals in the prefecture of Larisa regarding the Introduction of Artificial Intelligence into School Administration

Artificial Intelligence (ΤΝ- Artificial Intelligence/ AI) is rapidly transforming several sectors, including the field of education. Although more and more people around the world are becoming interested in AI, there is not sufficient research on the Greek primary education sector, especially regarding how Artificial Intelligence can be used in administration. The aim of the present study was to investigate the attitudes and intentions of principals in primary schools in the Prefecture of Larisa regarding the implementation and future utilization of Artificial Intelligence tools in school administration. Although the study examined a small number of individuals, it provides us with useful information that can help us make decisions at local and national level and guide future research. Artificial Intelligence could greatly improve school administration, but it will only work if it is used carefully and with a focus on students’ well-being, the autonomy of principals and the importance of human relationships.
