Artificial intelligence technologies are used in many fields and have become a part of our lives. The field of artificial intelligence, which has an important place especially in the field of education and for the digital leadership, is constantly developing and is expected to create even greater impacts in the future. The main purpose of this research is to examine the experiences of educational administrators towards digital leadership in the age of artificial intelligence. In the research, phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The research's study group was comprised of 15 educational administrators. These participants were selected using a convenience sampling design, a type of maximum sampling method, derived from purposive sampling methods. In the study, a semi-structured interview form created by the researchers by analyzing the literature in detail and taking expert opinions was used as a data collection tool. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. According to the results of the research, the themes of general perceptions of educational administrators towards artificial intelligence, perceptions towards the use of artificial intelligence in education, general perceptions of educational administrators towards digital leadership and suggestions of educational administrators towards artificial intelligence and digital leadership emerged.
