The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has ushered in an era of intelligent education, catalyzing profound changes in teaching methods and reshaping the roles of educators. This paper explores the intricate relationship between technology, education, and teachers by drawing upon relevant theories from the field of technological sociology, particularly the concept of "one skill for one person." It scrutinizes the evolving role of teachers in the context of artificial intelligence, delving into the mechanisms that underpin their functions in this rapidly evolving educational landscape. Through a historical examination of educational technology innovation, this paper delineates a three-tiered transformation in the relationship between artificial intelligence and university teachers, spanning from "technology exclusion" to "technology complementarity" and finally to "technology dependence." The paper used a mixed-methods strategy, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. These phases illustrate the evolving synergy between human educators and AI, ultimately contributing to the modernization of the educational system and the enhancement of educational capabilities. This research sheds light on how the integration of AI can enhance the educational experience and empower educators, ensuring the continued advancement of education in the digital age.
