ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article studies the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on professional education in the context of rapid societal digitalization. The authors examine current trends in transforming modern educational spaces, emphasizing the importance of adapting teaching methods to new realities. They analyze how contemporary technologies, including AI, are reshaping educational processes and interactions, opening up new opportunities while creating risks. At the beginning of the third millennium, there has been a transition from “late industrial” to “early information” society, which changes production, consumption patterns, and ideological orientations. Within this framework, the advantages and risks associated with integrating AI into the learning process are described, along with strategies for optimal innovation implementation. The work formulates recommendations aimed at enhancing teacher competence, developing digital infrastructure, and effectively managing digital resources.
