This study is designed with the aim of evaluating Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in the education sector and conducting an in-depth examination of teachers' perspectives on this matter. It particularly focuses on understanding the role of AI in education and emphasizing its potential contributions. To achieve this goal, it is essential to unveil teachers' perceptions of AI and systematically assess their views regarding the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and risks of this technology in education. The research employs a qualitative method utilizing a phenomenological design. Semi-structured interview forms were used for data collection, with Maxqda being the primary tool for data analysis. The study's sample consists of sixty teachers from a private school in Gaziantep, Turkey. Thirty-seven of these teachers volunteered to participate, while the remaining twenty-three cited their lack of knowledge in AI as a reason for not taking part. The findings suggest that, overall, teachers possess a positive outlook on the use of AI in education, although some negative perspectives also emerged. This research serves as a valuable resource for gaining a better understanding of AI's potential in education and providing a more detailed evaluation of teachers' perspectives on this technology.
