Abstract

Artificial intelligence has significant potentials in revolutionizing education by enhancing teaching methods, personalizing learning experiences, and improving educational outcomes. The aim of the research is to specify the role of AI in creation of future education and to outline the potentials and challenges artificial intelligence can bring within the educational process. To answer the research questions the case study on the role of AI in the creation of future education was conducted. The methods included structured interviews among institutions administrators, faculty members, students, and AI developers; survey among students and faculty to collect quantitative data on their use of and attitudes towards AI technologies; classroom observations. Over 50 recent scientific works were selected to evaluate the role of artificial intelligence in education and to conduct the comparative educational analysis. The research was conducted among 56 participants, in particularly 9 institutions administrators, 19 faculty members, 24 students, and 4 artificial intelligence developers. The results showed that artificial intelligence integrated in the educational process are used to design simulation-based activities, organize personalized learning, form specific skills among students, and automate the administrative process. artificial intelligence leads to enhancement of learning outcomes among students, increased efficiency, and greater accessibility of education, during war in particularly when the educational process can be disrupted. Using artificial intelligence in education presents several challenges that need to be addressed for its effective implementation. Also, it was found that efficient using artificial intelligence tools within the educational process will lead to the creation of positive artificial intelligence based learning landscape at the institutions of higher education which is characterized by efficiency, interactivity, inclusivity, innovation, and accessibility. The results of research can be implied by educational institutions to improve the educational process and by EdTech companies to develop educational tools and platforms.
