STUDIES ON THE SUSTAINABLE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TECHNICAL AND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: BENEFITS CHALLENGE AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

This undertaken study analyzes how students and professors perceive the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, in technical and agricultural higher education. At the same time, there were examined the perceived benefits, existing challenges, and future directions for implementation. The research is based on the analysis of a dataset collected through online questionnaires, which provides a detailed perspective on how AI influences technical and agricultural educational processes. The results indicate that perceived AI is predominantly positive, being appreciated for its usefulness in personalizing learning and optimizing evaluation processes, especially in technical fields. Nonetheless, it was noted that educators in technical and agricultural higher education encounter considerable obstacles in adopting this technology owing to insufficient resources, the necessity for further training, and issues associated with its effective incorporation into technical and agricultural educational practices. In this regard, we have developed a series of recommendations to address these contemporary challenges, including the development of sustainable training programs for teachers in technical and agricultural higher education. We proposed to stimulate investments in the technological infrastructure appropriate to the field under study, and last but not least, it is necessary to clearly define the ethical framework for the use of artificial intelligence in student education.
