Abstract: This study examined the Artificial Intelligence–Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (AI-TPACK) of pre-service teachers through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. A descriptive-correlational design was applied to 1,066 Filipino pre-service teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis validated the adapted instruments and partial least squares structural equation modelling tested the hypotheses. Acceptance and AI-TPACK were high, and the model explained 40.5% of AI-TPACK variance. Enabling conditions, effort expectancy and personal innovativeness predicted AI-TPACK positively and social influence weakly negatively, while intention and use showed no direct effect. Readiness rests on capability and support.
