AI Meets Academia: What Faculty Think Digital Education Council Global AI Faculty Survey 2025 Foreword TheDigital Education Council (DEC) Global AI Faculty Surveyaims to provide insights into faculty use and perceptions around artificial intelligence (AI) inhigher education to inform decision-making for higher education leadership. When read together with theDEC Global AI Student Survey, higher educationinstitution leaders can begin to paint a comprehensive picture of attitudes towards AI in their institutions and the level of work that needs to be undertaken. The report covers faculty’s overall use and perceptions of AI, awareness of AI’s impact on teaching and learning, perceived future-readiness for AI integrationin teaching, and judgement of institutional AI guidelines and communication. This survey has gathered1,681 responses, from faculty members of52 participating institutionsacross28 countries, offering a diverse range of facultyviewpoints on AI in education. With institutions looking to integrate AI into their curricula and teaching, this survey aims to inform institution leadership offaculty needs and perceptions regarding AI use. Data from this survey aims to provide valuable guiding points for institutions on general faculty sentiment about AI in education, highlights faculty concernsregarding integrating AI into teaching, and identifies potential areas for AI integration that faculty are most open to trying. The varied and global perspectivesrepresented in the Global AI Faculty Survey would not have been possible without the support and contributions of DEC institution members and allinstitutions who assisted in the distribution of this survey.

For feedback and inquiries Hui Rong, Research and Intelligence Leadhui@digitaleducationcouncil.com DEC Leadership Note It is our pleasure to publish this report as a follow-on to our Global AI Student Survey, which was released publicly in August 2024. The response from aroundthe world was overwhelming and we are delighted to see our data used to inform important discussions in the global higher education community. This survey reveals a clear message: faculty are deeply engaged with the rapid rise of AI but are calling for stronger institutional support, clearer governanceframeworks, and improved AI literacy to harness its potential. While optimism about AI’s role in teaching and research is high, concerns around ethics,workload, and skill readiness persist. The results are a wake-up call for higher education leaders. Faculty see AI as both an opportunity and a challenge, urging institutions to invest in training, policydevelopment, and technology infrastructure to remain competitive in a rapidly changing landscape. As we said in our Student Survey, the AI revolution has a long way to run and we are only at the beginning. Whilst faculty are broadly positive about the use of AI,their institutions need to support them to succeed and meet overall institutional goals. A detailed Executive Briefing is provided on these survey results to members of the Digital Education Council. We welcome institutions from around the worldto join our work. We would like to thank members and non-members alike who helped us collect the data for this report. Please let us know how you use this and how it impactsyour decision making.
