Abstract

Introduction: The article is dedicated to studying the main capabilities and effectiveness of using AI in the modern education system and the impact of neural networks on developing analytical skills in learners. Methods: The research is based on the comprehensive application of analysis, comparative methods, forecasting and data analysis, pedagogical observation, and generalisation methods. Results: The article establishes that AI began actively integrating into the education system in November 2022 with access to the ChatGPT service. It also identifies that the use of artificial intelligence in the education system at various levels is founded on the integration of three primary skills: learning (collection and analysis of information), thinking (analytics, choosing optimal action algorithms), and self-correction (improving setting algorithms to achieve more accurate results). It is established that there are two main directions for using AI to enhance the efficiency of the educational process: the application of generative AI (generating texts, plans, annotations, presentations, images) and predictive AI (automation of educational processes). The use of AI in the education system occurs in three main areas: implementing personalised learning, automating essential educational functions (checking tests, problems, equations, even evaluating creative works), and improving the process of distance education and self-education. Conclusions: It is determined that the main disadvantage of using AI in education is the reduction in the level of socialisation and critical thinking among learners. Therefore, it is crucial to balance using neural networks in the learning process and the presence of the teacher's personality in this process.
