САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

This paper explores the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education to improve teaching processes. Through the analysis of relevant literature, various aspects of the application of AI technologies in the educational sector are explored. It has been found that AI can provide a personalized academic experience and more efficient information retrieval; however, AI answers are perceived as often lacking in accuracy and correctness and should not be unquestioningly trusted. The research instrument was an online survey given to 105 university students with several types of questions to discover whether our students were familiar with the concept of AI tools. Through the analysis of the available literature and the student’s response, it is concluded that a viable option to improve the learning and teaching process is a balance between traditional teaching methods and the application of AI technologies, where AI could support teachers through dynamic and interactive lessons and provide additional resources tailored to individual student needs. At the same time, the need for careful development and use of AI technologies concerning ethical principles and continuous expert supervision is strongly emphasized, underlining the crucial role of educators, researchers, and policymakers in ensuring responsible AI use in education.
