        abstract = {The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in the education sector has significantly transformed the work dynamics of teaching and administrative professionals. In Rajasthan, institutions are increasingly adopting AI-driven systems for lesson planning, assessment, student monitoring, and administrative tasks. This study explores the impact of AI tools on the work–life balance of education professionals across schools, colleges, and universities in the state. Using a mixed-method research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews from teachers, faculty members, and academic administrators. The findings reveal that AI tools enhance efficiency, reduce routine workload, and support better time management, contributing positively to work–life balance. However, challenges such as digital fatigue, constant connectivity, skill gaps, and increased expectations for immediate response also create stressors that negatively affect well-being. The study highlights the dual role of AI as both an enabler and disruptor of work-life balance. It concludes with recommendations for policy makers and institutions to implement balanced AI adoption strategies, offer digital literacy training, and create supportive work environments to ensure sustainable well-being of education professionals in Rajasthan.},
