IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT MODEL

This article provides a scientific-theoretical analysis of the opportunities for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the management of preschool education organizations and ways to improve the innovative management model. In the context of digital transformation, leaders of preschool education organizations face tasks such as effectively organizing management processes, supporting educators' activities, improving communication with parents, and protecting children's interests. AI tools can assist in document workflow, scheduling, classifying inquiries, resource planning, data summarization, and preparing pedagogical materials. However, risks such as the confidentiality of preschool children's data, algorithmic errors, digital inequality, and the diminishing human factor require special management measures. Methods such as literature analysis, systems approach, comparative analysis, and theoretical generalization were used in the research. As a result, an innovative management model based on step-by-step AI implementation, maintaining human oversight, developing staff digital competence, and measuring outcomes is proposed. The article is theoretical and analytical in nature, noting the need for empirical research to test the proposed model in practice.
