The aim of the research paper “Harnessing Artificial Intelligence Tools in Educational Leadership and Management: A Qualitative Inquiry” is to explore about the use of AI tools in educational administration and management at university level. For this purpose, qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews was conducted from administrative heads, senior management, and academic decision-makers of five different public and private sector universities situated in the vicinity of Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The interviews were conducted as scheduled, including in-depth perceptions of the participant mostly doing research work on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Phenomenological study was best utilized for in-depth understanding of the phenomena of research. Ethical consideration such as informed consent was taken. A demographic questionnaire was also completed by the interviewee for record. The findings revealed that there are many emerging trends and flaws in educational level policies.
