Abstract

 This article examines the impact of using artificial intelligence technologies in the educational process on teachers' psychological stability, stress and digital workload, professional identity, self-confidence and reflection, as well as digital competence. A survey was conducted with 214 general education and higher education teachers based on a descriptive correlational design. Scales were used to measure psychological stability and digital fatigue, professional identity, self-confidence and reflective practice, as well as digital competence and the intensity of artificial intelligence use [1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 12, 19]. Results show that high digital competence and self-confidence in using artificial intelligence increase teachers' levels of professional satisfaction, happiness, and professional identity [2, 3, 9, 11, 18, 19], while potentially reducing digital fatigue and work-related stress [1, 4, 6, 12]. However, it was found that insufficient preparation and institutional support can lead to increased workload, technological anxiety, and role confusion, weakening psychological stability [6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 16]. The findings emphasize the need to develop policies and professional development programs that prioritize teachers' mental well-being and professional identity when implementing artificial intelligence.
