Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the educational landscape, making AI literacy an essential competency for teachers. Teaching self-efficacy, defined as a teacher’s belief in their ability to facilitate learning effectively, is equally crucial for teacher preparedness. This study examines the relationship between AI literacy and teaching self-efficacy among 100 prospective teachers in Tamil Nadu. A descriptive correlational survey method was employed using two researcher-constructed instruments: the AI Literacy Scale (30 items) and the Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (12 items). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analyses. Findings revealed a moderate level of AI literacy (M = 3.42, SD = 0.56) and high teaching self-efficacy (M = 3.78, SD = 0.49). A significant positive correlation (r = .46, p < .01) was found between AI literacy and teaching self-efficacy. Regression analysis showed that AI literacy significantly predicted teaching self-efficacy (β = .38, p < .01), explaining 18% of the variance. The study concludes that enhancing AI literacy may boost confidence and teaching competence among future educators. Recommendations are made for integrating AI literacy and pedagogical efficacy training in teacher education programs.
