Recent advancements in information technology in general, and more specifically in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), have contributed to major and multiple leaps in the pedagogy of teaching and learning in the higher education sector. The University of Petra (UOP), like any other higher education institute worldwide, has been faced with these major and imperative leaps that are mainly directed by AI. Academic staff from different programs and disciplines now utilize AI applications and tools within the teaching and learning process, whether for research purposes or academic teaching purposes. Therefore, and based on the widespread use of AI in education, multiple questions arise regarding the education strategy at UOP. In order to determine the academic staff’s opinions about the current and possible future uses of AI, an extensive study was undertaken in the form of an in-house-generated questionnaire. This was used to decide whether the majority of the UOP academic staff are capable of using, prefer to use, and are using some AI tools, or whether they prefer traditional teaching methods. The conclusions can be used as a cornerstone in the improvement of the current processes to reach the optimal utilization of AI. They can also be the foundation for solutions to overcome any of the challenges and obstacles to AI use by pinpointing the weaknesses and strengths within the UOP academic staff.
