Abstract
The use of technology is now a feature of our society. The educational system of our country could not be an exception to this development. The possibilities that are now offered in the context of acquiring knowledge are unlimited. We are in the post-pandemic era where the use of ICT in schools has peaked through distance learning. At the same time, however, a new concept, that of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has come to stir the stagnant waters of education. An AI that seems that in the coming years will change the way the educational process will unfold. From personalized learning to the way educational units are managed. In this paper we will try to trace both the influence of ICT in schools in Greece and the possibilities that a possible use of AI in administration will offer. The theoretical part of the paper consists of three areas. First, the use of ICT in schools, then the use of AI in school administration and finally the conclusions, possible challenges on the topic and suggestions for future research. In between, the research part is presented, in which teachers of all levels were asked to answer a series of questions related to ICT and AI. The results of the survey are analysed and presented for discussion. The last part of the paper contains the relevant literature on which the paper was based and the annex with the survey questionnaire. It is a common secret that the integration of technology in education, but at the same time the acceptance of the new era, by teachers and trainees, is not just a luxury but a necessity in order to move forward into the future. Unconstrained digital learning and the development of digital skills is the new challenge of the 21st century.
