USING GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Generative artificial intelligence applications that can mimic human capabilities to create outputs such as text, images, videos, music, and code have generated a lot of interest over the past two years. Millions of people currently use generative artificial intelligence in their daily lives. In particular, it has entered the educational process, as well as other areas. Such wide-ranging possibilities for information processing and knowledge production can have great implications for education. The article describes the impact of artificial intelligence on educational and research processes, the opportunities and risks that artificial intelligence can provide in this regard, as well as approaches to preventing them. The article is based on the information materials of “Guidance for generative AI in education and research” of UNESCO, which is being translated by the author into Uzbek, and research papers by leading scientists in this field.
