Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly transforming the educational landscape by introducing intelligent systems that support teaching, assessment, and learning management. The integration of AI technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, automated grading tools, and adaptive learning platforms has significantly influenced the professional roles and responsibilities of teachers. The present study examines the emerging responsibilities of teachers in AI-integrated educational environments with special reference to secondary school teachers in Kolkata, West Bengal. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 120 teachers from government and private secondary schools in Kolkata was selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire designed to measure teachers’ perceptions regarding AI usage and professional responsibilities. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that Artificial Intelligence significantly influences instructional planning, student assessment practices, and classroom management strategies. The study concludes that while AI technologies enhance teaching efficiency, the human role of teachers remains essential in guiding students’ intellectual, ethical, and emotional development. The findings have important implications for teacher education programs, educational policy makers, and curriculum planners.
