This study aimed to: (1) examine the effectiveness of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the professional skills of educational personnel; (2) evaluate the impact of AI on curriculum development in non-formal education; and (3) assess the level of AI awareness among educators in special non-formal education centers in Chonburi Province. A mixed-methods research design was employed, utilizing questionnaires, interviews, and evaluation forms as research instruments. The sample consisted of 26 educational personnel selected using the Taro Yamane formula with a 0.05 margin of error through accidental sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and standard deviation), and t-tests were employed for comparative analysis. Qualitative data obtained from interviews and relevant documents were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that: (1) the integration of AI significantly enhanced the professional skills of educational personnel, particularly in digital literacy, instructional design, and data-driven decision-making; (2) AI-supported curriculum development improved the relevance, flexibility, and responsiveness of non-formal education programs; and; (3) educators demonstrated a notable increase in AI awareness and competencies, contributing to more effective, adaptive, and innovative instructional practices.
