Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing the leadership skills of academic leaders in public and private universities in the Northern Region from the point of view of faculty members. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher prepared a tool consisting of (32) items distributed over three areas: administrative intellectual skills, the area of ​​problem solving and decision making, and the area of ​​technical skills. The study population consisted of all faculty members in public and private universities in the northern region, from whom a random sample was chosen. It reached (265) faculty members during the first semester of the year (2023/2024 AD). The results of the study showed that the overall arithmetic averages for the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing leadership skills among academic leaders in public and private universities came in at a moderate degree, and the results showed that there were statistically significant differences attributed to gender differences, in favor of males, type of university, and in favor of public universities, and there were no statistically significant differences. This is due to the difference in academic rank. The study recommended the need to encourage academic leaders in universities to employ artificial intelligence programs.
