Summary/Abstract: This study surveyed 253 preschool teachers on their AI attitudes and self-efficacy. Findings show that teachers are cautiously positive, with higher AI knowledge linked to better attitudes. A weak positive correlation was found between self-efficacy and AI acceptance, and the study suggests a need for targeted AI training for educators to improve adoption.
