Abstract
The use of Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is becoming a common practice in the everyday lives and workplaces of many people around the world. This is true in the realm of education and schooling as well. With rapidly advancing technology, it is important to understand how first-year teachers are entering the workforce, including their abilities and understanding of AI's impact on their teaching practices. Using teacher interviews before and after the implementation of a professional development program around the Khanmigo AI system for educators, along with observations of professional development sessions, teacher reflection sheets, artifact analysis, and observations and transcripts of a final group discussion group, the study aimed to gain an understanding of how first-year teachers are entering the workforce regarding their intentions and abilities to implement AI resources into their teaching, and how they can implement newly learned structures in their teaching.
