Abstract

This chapter analyzes the advantages and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) implementation in the education system. The perspectives, potential risks, and dangers of AI use for pupils and students in learning processes and social activities are discussed with illustrations of real cases. Special attention is paid to the proposals and recommendations for the successful integration of AI tools, in particular, large language models, to education processes focusing on the adapted tasks, relevant changing university curricula, increasing critical thinking, ethical challenges, and decreasing risks and dangers of uncontrolled use of AI tools by university students and school pupils. The interaction between AI, artificial conscience, and artificial consciousness within the educational process is discussed.
