Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming educational environments, offering unprecedented opportunities for improving teaching and learning. In higher education, the role of faculty development is crucial, yet traditional professional development methods often fall short in addressing the diverse and evolving needs of faculty members. This paper proposes an AI-enabled framework for enhancing faculty skills, focusing on personalized, scalable, and data-driven professional development. The framework incorporates AI-powered tools such as adaptive learning systems, data analytics, and intelligent feedback mechanisms. By leveraging these technologies, academic institutions can provide faculty with continuous, real-time feedback and learning paths tailored to their individual strengths and areas for improvement. The paper discusses the core components of the AI framework, its potential benefits, challenges such as data privacy and resistance to change, and ethical considerations. Through a review of relevant literature, case studies, and implementation strategies, the paper highlights how AI can play a pivotal role in fostering faculty growth, improving
