Bocharova Marina Nikolaevna

The purpose of this study is to analyze the ethical aspects and the problem of authenticity of communication in teaching speaking in a foreign language using artificial intelligence technologies. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of modern AI tools for language education, including voice assistants, speech simulators and interactive platforms. The key advantages of AI technologies have been identified: personalization of learning, instant feedback, reduction of psychological barriers and scalability of solutions. Ethical dilemmas are systematized: the problems of data privacy, algorithmic bias, the formation of technological dependence and the substitution of human interaction. The problem of authenticity of communication in interaction with AI systems is investigated, it is shown that the artificial nature of the interlocutor, the limited communicative goals and the predictability of reactions create a fundamentally different communicative situation that prevents the formation of genuine communicative competence. The scientific novelty lies in an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of ethical and communicative aspects of the use of AI in language education. As a result, recommendations have been developed on the ethical use of AI technologies while preserving the authenticity of the educational process.
