This study, through analyzing the current characteristics of teachers' professional identity in the AI era, finds that the traditional role of teachers as knowledge transmitters is shifting towards being learning guides. The professional authority, teaching methods, and career development paths of teachers are all facing significant challenges. The advantages of AI systems in knowledge acquisition and personalized teaching weaken the traditional authoritative position of teachers, while technological changes demand new adaptive capabilities from teachers, significantly increasing the uncertainty of career development. Based on this, teachers need to reposition their professional roles, strengthen their irreplaceable humanistic values, and require institutional support and guarantees. The study proposes reconstructing a professional identity system suitable for the AI era through establishing a "human-machine collaboration" educational concept, developing critical and innovative abilities, and improving evaluation and incentive mechanisms.
