        abstract = {This study investigates the technology acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools among teacher educators in Tamil Nadu, focusing on the key constructs of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM): Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Behavioral Intention to Use (BI). A sample of 100 teacher educators from colleges of education participated in the study. The AI Tools Acceptance Scale, developed by the researcher, consisted of 24 Likert-type items across three dimensions. Descriptive and correlation analyses were performed. Results indicated high levels of PU, PEOU, and BI among teacher educators. Significant positive correlations were found among all three constructs, suggesting that teacher educators who perceive AI tools as useful and easy to use are more likely to adopt them in their teaching practice. The findings imply a strong potential for integrating AI literacy and usage training into teacher education programs to promote effective adoption of AI-based pedagogical tools.},
