Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing education and offers significant opportunities to improve both teaching and learning. Moreover, AI contributes significantly to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by supporting scalable solutions with global impact. For educators to fully realize the potential of AI, developing AI literacy among teachers is essential. This study applies the SCORE framework, which evaluates Strengths, Challenges, Options, Responses, and Effectiveness to assess teachers’ AI literacy. The analysis reveals important strengths, such as the ability to personalize learning and improve teaching effectiveness, but also considerable challenges, such as inadequate training and unequal resources. Several strategies are proposed to address these barriers, including professional development programs and integration into the curriculum. The findings emphasize the need for sustained institutional support and ongoing training to ensure that teachers remain equipped with the latest AI skills and tools. Future research could explore the long-term impact of AI literacy on teacher professional development and student outcomes, as well as their application in different educational settings.
