ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Verezubova N., Mindlin Yu., Sakovich N.

Modern technologies based on artificial intelligence create fundamentally new conditions for organizing the educational process at universities. It becomes possible to build individual educational trajectories for each student, free teachers from monotonous work, and significantly optimize the management of educational flows. However, the widespread implementation of such systems raises serious ethical and pedagogical concerns. Academic integrity is at risk, students' ability to independently analyze and critically evaluate information is weakened, the educational environment becomes more impersonal, and algorithmic decision-making mechanisms can reproduce hidden forms of inequality. This article analyzes the main contradictions that arise when using intelligent systems in higher education, and discusses practical strategies for reducing associated risks.
