The ability of AI tools to enhance the methods and mechanics of provisioning better growth, pedagogy and thereby ensuring a greater or higher outcomes in terms of learnability of the students is still a growing space and this paper attempts to explore AI as a tool to upgrade the skills and knowledge of the Higher Education teachers towards reaping the full benefit of AI.

In the process of developing this paper, the research methodology would include, among other items, the evaluation of the effectiveness of AI tools as a facilitator to professional development and competency enhancement through custom/tailored approaches for learning programs. A survey would be the preferred tool to gather data for this study, targeting a sample of the population of higher education faculty. The research design will also include a comprehensive literature review to synthesize the existing knowledge available on this subject.

One of the key outcomes intended out of this research and the eventual full paper is to determine and document the effects of a customized learning approach utilizing AI in the upskilling process aimed at the Higher education faculty.
