ABSTRACT
In higher education institutions, Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) are essential for improving the caliber of instruction and encouraging ongoing professional development. However, the overall benefit of typical FDPs on enhancing teaching abilities is limited since they frequently lack customization, real-time feedback, and flexibility. The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into faculty training offers a substantial chance to get beyond these constraints and update educator development in the era of digital transformation. In order to enhance faculty members' teaching abilities, this study investigates the application of AI and ML technologies in FDPs. It explores the creation of individualized and captivating development experiences via the use of intelligent technologies including automated feedback systems, predictive analytics, and adaptive learning platforms. Using a mixed-method approach, the study combines survey data with interviews with administrators and academics at certain universities. Results show that FDPs augmented by AI and ML provide a number of benefits, such as personalized learning pathways, better engagement, data-driven progress monitoring, and more efficient instructional strategies. But the report also points out important issues including infrastructural constraints, reluctance to technology use, and gaps in digital literacy. The study ends with suggestions for incorporating AI and ML into faculty development plans, stressing the value of training assistance, institutional preparedness, and ethical data usage. This study adds insightful information to the body of knowledge on educational technology and offers a useful foundation for universities looking to integrate AI and ML into their faculty development initiatives
