| Abstract: | Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining popularity in schools for instructional purposes, but its potential and usage could be extended to school management. Just as teachers must prepare for the changes brought about by AI technology in their classrooms, school leaders need to be ready and equipped to handle these transitions. However, the literature related to artificial intelligence and school leadership is extremely scarce. This paper aimed to outline the applications and benefits of AI technology adoption and implementation in school management. It utilized tenets found in Huang and Rust's (2018) Theory of AI job replacement, and available literature on ChatGPT, large language models, and artificial intelligence. The findings of this study indicate that ChatGPT and other similar models are likely to have a profound impact on several school management processes, such as streamlining administrative tasks, and facilitating communication between school leaders, teachers, parents, and students. AI can also increase school leaders' efficiency, enhance their communication, and offer personalized support. Potential advantages and implications associated with using ChatGPT and other similar models in school management were also addressed. The paper concluded with recommendations for future scholarly inquiry. |
