The study findings revealed that the level of applying AI Apps in the educational process as perceived by Arabic language teachers in Arar city was low, the main obstacles to implementation were insufficient technical support, weak digital capabilities and technical infrastructure in schools, and the need for privacy and data protection. The results also showed statistically significant differences at the α ≤0.05 level in the degree of their use of these applications attributed to the gender variable in favor of females, bachelor’s degree holders, secondary and primary stage teachers, those who completed (1-3) courses, and those with more than (11-15) years of experience in the experience variable ;while there are no differences regarding the obstacles to their use in teaching Arabic attributed to these variables.
