Abstract: This study explored faculty members' awareness, attitudes, and challenges in using ChatGPT for teaching at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University. A sample of 320 respondents completed a questionnaire examining awareness and attitudes based on gender, experience, and academic rank. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, T-tests, ANOVA, and LSD tests. Results revealed a high awareness of ChatGPT's teaching role, particularly among male faculty members and professors. Attitudes toward ChatGPT were generally positive and unaffected by gender, experience, or rank. Challenges were more evident among faculty with extensive experience and higher ranks, such as assistant and associate professors. The study recommends targeted training to enhance ChatGPT's integration into teaching and provides insights for policymakers to support AI adoption in higher education.

Keywords: AI; faculty awareness; teaching technology; academic ranks; ChatGPT adoption.
