Summary/Abstract: Among the many factors that are important in achieving the expected outcomes from Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based applications and technologies, the perspectives, attitudes and approaches of school administrators are in the first place. School administrators assume important duties and roles in the dimensions of student, teacher, classroom, school, educational culture and climate in the realisation of educational goals and implementation of policies. Therefore, educational administrators should have awareness and supportive approaches towards AI-based education. The aim of the study prepared in this context is to determine the opinions of school administrators on the use of artificial intelligence in education. As a result of the research conducted with the participation of 209 school administrators working in public schools in İzmir province; it was seen that according to school administrators, AI applications are a high-tech robot that fulfils computer programmes and commands; school administrators have concerns that AI may create ethical gaps. In addition, while the attitudes of school principals towards AI applications and their use in education were generally positive, the views of assistant principals were found to be negative compared to principals. According to the findings, it was determined that more information and support should be given to school administrators about AI.
