Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and E-learning platforms has become increasingly prevalent in the rapidly evolving landscape of higher Education. However, amidst this technological advancement, the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and its impact on the efficacy of AI-driven educational tools still needs to be explored. This pilot study seeks to elucidate the intricate relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and E-Learning in Higher Education. Drawing upon a multidisciplinary approach, this study investigates the correlation between students' Emotional Intelligence competencies and their engagement with AI-driven E-Learning platforms. The findings of this pilot study are expected to shed light on several critical aspects. Firstly, it aims to uncover how Emotional Intelligence influences students' receptivity to AI-infused E-Learning environments, potentially elucidating strategies for optimizing user experience and learning outcomes. Moreover, by exploring the reciprocal influence between Emotional Intelligence and AI algorithms, this research endeavors to contribute to the refinement of AI technologies, fostering greater personalization and adaptability in educational settings. Furthermore, this study endeavors to address the ethical implications inherent in the intersection of Emotional Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and E-Learning. By elucidating the potential risks and benefits associated with integrating these technologies, it seeks to inform policymakers, educators, and AI developers alike, facilitating the responsible deployment of AI-driven educational tools. Therefore, its innovative methodology and comprehensive approach aspire to pave the way for future research endeavors, ultimately enriching the educational landscape with insights prioritizing technological advancement and human well-being.
