This study examines the teacher's and administrator's perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) in education. This study is based on the population of Pakistan. Mainly focus on the Teachers and Administrators working in the education sector. This study used the stratified sampling technique and subdivided the overall population into three strata. This study used the five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed 385 responses. The powerful tool used for the analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is the software Smart PLS version 4.0.9. Results indicate that influence from colleagues has significant mediation between academic load and outcome, perception towards using AI, and support from institutions for AI implementation to belief towards AI integration in education. This research has certain limitations. The study is only conducted on the people of Pakistan. Therefore, examining the other regions may validate the contributions of this study. The implication of this research is in the education sectors of primary, secondary, and higher education. Too many factors can affect the belief toward AI integration in the education sectors such as the usefulness of AI to enhance teacher performance, the efficiency of administrators, the level of AI training of teachers and administrations, and the impact of AI on the time commitments. To the authors' best knowledge, it is one of the pioneer studies conducted in Pakistan on teacher and administrator perceptions of using AI in Education.
