TY - JOUR PB - Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia N2 - In today?s day and age, technology has become a significant part of education worldwide. It has drastically changed the way education is given out, received, and discovered. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become known as a game-changing technology that has the power to completely disrupt several sectors of the economy, especially in education and our way of life. The use of (AI) in education holds the ability to change current methods of teaching. Teachers are encouraged to involve more students in the knowledge production process actively, but they have not fully realised the potential of integrating the application into the teaching process yet. We are still in the early stages of teachers using artificial intelligence for student engagement and active participation, indicating a need to create more rigorousresearch and study related to it. One of the issues identified based on the current research was because of the teachers? training programs which have yet to be improved. One evident gap in current research lies in the lack of focus on the use of the application during teacher training programs. Satisfaction with digital training programs is critical for improving teachers' digital proficiency and fostering a learning environment rich in digital knowledge. This paper will also focus on the AI literacy concept, including its importance in today's educational settings. This literature review exists to define early childhood education (ECE) teachers' AI literacy. This paper discussion will help enlighten the Ministry of Education on the importance of enhancing teachers? AI literacy through comprehensive and targeted training programs.
