The paper aims to guide the development of better frameworks and strategies to help teachers successfully navigate this new AI-hastened world of higher education. Using an online questionnaire, the study surveyed 30 higher education teachers from several universities in Algeria (Biskra, Tebessa, Chlef, Khenchela, Tiaret, Skikda, Batna, Relizane, Bechar, Mascara, and Constantine). The findings reveal a concerning trend: most teachers believe AI harms the development of essential 21st-century skills in their students, including collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. The study also found that many lack the required digital skills and feel uncomfortable implementing AI tools in their classrooms.
