Hélio Augusto Goulart DinizObjective: Considering the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by teachers in public high schools in Barão de Cocais faces challenges, such as the lack of specific training and inadequate infrastructure, along with concerns about pedagogical autonomy, the objective is to investigate the impacts of these technological tools on the teaching-learning process. Theoretical Framework: This research presents the main concepts and theories that underlie the work. The use of artificial intelligence in public education, the ethical and pedagogical challenges of using artificial intelligence in teaching and the infrastructure and public policies for artificial intelligence in education stand out, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the investigation. Method: A qualitative methodology is applied, based on semi-structured interviews with teachers, aiming to capture their experiences and perceptions regarding the use of AI in their pedagogical practices. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that it is essential to incorporate digital skills development into teacher training curricula, in addition to promoting public policies that encourage the conscious and appropriate use of AI in the educational context. Research Implications: Content analysis allows the identification of patterns and recurring themes, providing a broad understanding of the implications of this technology in education. It is observed that AI is seen by teachers as a promising tool, particularly for automating tasks and personalizing learning. However, there is a significant gap in teacher training and in the schools’ infrastructure, hindering more efficient adoption. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the emerging literature on the implementation of AI in Brazilian public education, offering valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities surrounding the adoption of these technologies in educational institutions in specific regions, such as Barão de Cocais.
