The purpose of this study is to critically investigate the extent to which AI technologies contribute to labour alienation among teachers. 

1.        To explore how AI affects teachers' autonomy, professional identity, and their relationships with students. This objective seeks to understand the complex ways AI technologies influence teachers’ professional autonomy—their ability to make independent decisions regarding instructional practices, curriculum implementation, and classroom management (Pearson & Moomaw, 2005). It also examines how AI impacts teachers' professional identity and the relational dimensions of teaching.

2.        To examine how AI technologies might contribute to alienation among teachers. This objective focuses on analysing the potential alienation of teachers from their work as a consequence of AI integration, based on Marxist theory.

3.        To explore the broader implications of AI integration in education through the lens of alienation. This objective aims to assess the systemic changes introduced by AI-driven technologies, with a focus on how these changes may contribute to or alleviate feelings of alienation among teachers.

This study is significant as it applies Marx’s theory of labour alienation to the integration of AI in education, bridging historical frameworks with modern technological challenges. It expands on Marx’s concepts to address how AI impacts teaching, offering insights into autonomy, professional identity, and social relations.

By exploring AI’s effects on teachers’ work, this research provides valuable data to guide policies and practices that enhance educators’ well-being. It informs strategies for teacher training and AI implementation, ensuring technological benefits support human-centric teaching environments. Empirical findings from surveys and interviews reveal how AI influences control, meaningfulness, and interpersonal dynamics in the profession.

As AI increasingly shapes education, this study offers timely contributions to debates on its ethical and practical implications, advocating for teacher fulfillment alongside technological progress.
