Abstract: With the upcoming changes brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the field of education, teaching AI literacy and digital competency to educators has emerged as an imperative. Based on proposed and empirically-supported research, this paper outlines a multi-level training model that is aligned to Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education and where the AI awareness and pedagogical integration is placed as a basis. Through this proposed model that adopts a multimethodological approach comprising a review of relevant literature and surveys and interviews among educators, major milestones regarding the implementation of vital training competencies among teachers before and after being hired have been discovered. These facts reveal that when it comes to awareness of tools available, high-level awareness has been discovered to exist among them but when it comes to confidence and preparedness in ethical practices, poor awareness has been observed.
