Abstract

This article aims to analyze teachers' perceptions of the impacts of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education, considering its possibilities, limitations, and challenges in pedagogical practices. The research was developed from a literature review and the application of a questionnaire to teachers from FATEC Jahu, seeking to understand the level of knowledge, frequency of use, and evaluations of participants regarding AI tools in the educational environment. The results indicated that Artificial Intelligence is already present in the daily lives of teachers, being used mainly to support the production of materials, organization of content, academic production, and personalization of learning. It is also noted that most participants confirm the potential of AI to improve the quality of Higher Education, although concerns related to plagiarism, misuse by students, technological dependence, and the need for teacher training still exist. It is concluded that Artificial Intelligence can contribute significantly to the teaching and learning process, provided it is used ethically, critically, and in a planned manner. Thus, AI should be understood as a tool to support teaching work, and not as a substitute for human mediation, pedagogical experience, and the teacher's critical thinking.
