The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education is changing how teaching, learning and institutions operate. This study looks at how professors from Arts and Science Colleges in Coimbatore District see the benefits and difficulties of using AI in teaching, learning and research. The study used a quantitative approach, collecting data through interviews with 100 faculty members and surveys sent to professors in various fields like arts, humanities, life sciences, physical sciences and commerce. The results show that professors see many benefits of AI, such as helping students learn more effectively, making assessments easier, supporting decisions based on data, encouraging teamwork across different subjects and preparing students for future jobs. However, there are also several problems. These include not having enough equipment, reliable internet and proper software, lack of digital skills among teachers and students, worries about ethics and cheating, resistance to change and not enough support from the institution in terms of rules, training and money. Also, different subjects had different views: science teachers were more positive about AI’s use, while arts and humanities teachers were more worried about how AI might affect creativity, original ideas and cultural understanding. The study used a descriptive research method with a non-probability sampling approach, specifically purposive sampling. The researcher chose professors based on purposeful selection and used an interview schedule to get information from 100 professors.
