New Approaches to Designing an Intelligent Educational Environment in the Context of Artificial Intelligence Scaling

The purpose of the study is to develop a model of a hybrid intelligent educational environment according to the intellectual partnership between humans and artificial intelligence, based on an analysis of the practice of using artificial intelligence in school and university education. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks: to assess the opinions of participants in educational relations about the use of artificial intelligence in education, the associated threats and opportunities; to identify the features of using artificial intelligence in higher education; and to develop methodological approaches to forming an intellectual partnership between students and artificial intelligence as the basis for a model of a hybrid intelligent educational environment.
Materials and methods. The study used a range of methods, including inductive-deductive, statistical and comparative analysis, modeling, and visualization of graphical data.
The information base was compiled from scientific publications, materials of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, research results of the scientists of the Higher School of Economics, open sources of the Internet.
Results. The integration of artificial intelligence into the educational environment is accompanied by a number of problems (technological, social, psychological, ethical), which requires the management of educational organizations to take them into account when creating a new pedagogical ecosystem, in which artificial intelligence acts as a new tool of the educational process. An analysis of the parental community’s opinions regarding the use of artificial intelligence in children’s education revealed diverse assessments: while acknowledging the high educational potential of the technology, there were also concerns about the associated threats, with the main concern being the potential decline in the quality of knowledge. The article identifies the broad opportunities for using artificial intelligence by students and teachers in school and university education. It also highlights the fundamental differences in the use of artificial intelligence in higher education, which are related to the depth and complexity of solving scientific and educational tasks. The article proposes methodological approaches to creating an intellectual partnership between students and artificial intelligence, aimed at preventing the passive use of technology that leads to intellectual stagnation. The model of a hybrid intellectual educational environment is developed, which requires not only the modernization of technological infrastructure, but also pedagogical and cultural transformation based on ethical principles. The tasks have been formulated to train new qualified personnel who can use artificial intelligence technology as a tool for their professional activities.
Conclusion. In the era of unprecedented growth in technological achievements and the widespread and deep penetration of artificial intelligence into all areas of life, including the educational environment, the modern education system is in the process of reevaluating the role and place of artificial intelligence in the learning, development, and upbringing of young people. Recognizing the need to adapt to new technological trends, educational organizations are carefully assessing the potential and threats associated with the implementation of artificial intelligence in the educational process, as well as evaluating their own resources to implement the concept of “collaborative intelligence”, which combines human and artificial intelligence. The intellectual partnership of participants in educational relationships with artificial intelligence has a high potential for solving pedagogical tasks: artificial intelligence, by solving routine tasks, frees up the teacher for creative work, emotional support, and the development of new methods for forming meta-cognitive competencies among students; artificial intelligence expands scientific and educational opportunities for students in a proactive position of using technology.
