Introduction of artificial intelligence into education: pros and cons

Abstract

The article discusses current aspects of the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of education, and analyzes the potential advantages and disadvantages of this process. The purpose of the study is to identify key factors influencing the effectiveness of the use of AI in the educational environment and determine the prospects for its further development. The research is based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications, statistical data and practical cases related to the use of AI in education. The work uses methods of system analysis, comparative analysis, synthesis and generalization of information. The empirical base included the results of surveys of 500 teachers and 2,000 students from 15 universities, as well as data on the implementation of AI in 50 educational institutions. It has been established that the use of AI helps improve the efficiency of the educational process by personalizing learning (increasing academic performance by 15- 20%), automating routine tasks (reducing teachers’ time by 25-30%) and ensuring continuous access to educational resources (increasing student engagement by 25-30%). 20%). However, potential risks were also identified related to the ethical aspects of using AI (75% of respondents expressed concern), a possible reduction in the role of the teacher (60%) and the need for significant financial investments (on average 1.5-2 million rubles for the implementation of AI in one educational institution). Key areas for further development of AI in education have been identified: adaptive learning, intelligent decision support systems, virtual assistants and chatbots.
