The current study was conducted to determine the attitudes of preservice preschool teachers toward artificial intelligence and to identify their views on AI and its application in education. This study was conducted using a sequential mixed methods design. Initially, the attitudes of 145 preservice preschool teachers toward artificial intelligence were determined using the General Attitude Toward Artificial Intelligence Scale. After evaluating the results according to their educational levels, focus group interviews were conducted with at least one participant from each level, including the five highest-scoring and five lowest-scoring individuals, to ascertain their views on AI and its use in early childhood education. At the conclusion of the study, the overall average score of the preservice teachers was determined to be 66.71, which is slightly above the general average. When examined by educational level, it was found that the group with the highest average score was the seniors, while the group with the lowest average score was the freshmen. Participants who scored high on the scale suggested that AI can be beneficial in various areas, including finding activity ideas, preparing and accessing educational materials, attaining otherwise inaccessible products and facilities, asking the right questions in education, and employing observation and other evaluation methods. Conversely, low-score participants indicated that AI could be used primarily for finding activity ideas, accessing educational materials, and parent education. It was found that the responses of the high-scoring participants were more diverse, and those with low scores had limited knowledge of AI.
