Artificial Intelligence and Challenges of Modernizing Education

The paper focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) in secondary and higher education. The critical role of AI in modern society is considered due to a number of scientific and technological breakthroughs, in particular, the massive increase in the volume of information known as “big data”. The main goal of the study is to determine the role of AI in education and in society. Objectives of the study include a discussion about AI in sociological and pedagogical aspects, a determination of the AI research problems, current AI challenges in education and science. Sociological studies allow us to conclude that public consensus on the AI role in education has not yet been achieved. The discussion of AI in modernized education shows that it is necessary to formulate not only a general approach to integrating AI into education, but also to predict how the education system will be transformed. The analysis of a wide range of innovations related to AI in education, in particular, in the aspect of teaching a foreign language, is carried out.
