Abstract

This study explored the requirements for employing some applications of generative artificial intelligence in university teaching from the point of view of faculty members at Umm Al-Qura University. The study used the descriptive survey method and included a sample of 371 faculty members at Umm Al-Qura University. The questionnaire was used as an instrument for collecting data. The results of the study showed that the requirements for employing some applications of generative artificial intelligence in university teaching from the point of view of faculty members at Umm Al-Qura University were high. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in how the study sample members generally thought about what would be needed to use some types of generative AI in college teaching, attributable to the variables of gender and college. The study also found that there were statistically significant differences in how the people in the study sample estimated the needs for using some applications of generative artificial intelligence in university teaching. These differences were due to their years of experience, with those with less than 5 years of experience scoring higher on material and legal needs and those with 10 to 15 years of experience scoring higher on human and administrative needs.
