Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the qualitatively new algorithms it generates for interaction between humans are becoming a key factor in the dynamics of diverse social practices today. The consequences of this process are currently unpredictable, evoking a wide range of sentiments and assessments, from unbridled optimism to gloomy alarmism and a peculiar form of Luddism. Perhaps in educational practices, these consequences are particularly dramatic, as it becomes increasingly evident that we are on the eve of a radical transformation of all aspects and forms of educational activity towards a model of human-machine partnership. AI is becoming the third equal subject alongside the teacher and the student in the educational process. Understanding these processes has become a key task for scholars and educational practitioners. The proposed conference is seen as one of the steps in solving this problem.
The conference aims to explore and discuss how AI and its’ multifaceted influence is
transforming communication practices in modern education.
Conference objectives include:
- Research and study of the evolving role of AI in transforming communication
practices in modern education, considering the dynamics of human-machine partnership; - Exploration of pedagogical aspects of communication within the context of human-machine partnership, identification of models and algorithms of interaction, communication strategies, and AI integration into the educational process;
- Critical analysis of the intersection of AI, education, and social values, discussion on the ethical issues and the consequences of social transformations.
Panel 1: Human-Machine Partnership in Digital Education
Problem field: the influence of AI on educational activities and communication
processes; the nature, algorithms, and dynamics of human-machine partnership in the digital
educational environment; advantages and challenges of AI integration into educational
communication practice.
Panel 2: Pedagogical Communication in Human-Machine Partnership Practices
Problem field: characteristics and types of pedagogical communication in human-machine partnership practices; the issue of effective teaching methods and means of interaction with AI; strategies for improving pedagogical communication between participants of the educational process and AI.
Panel 3: AI, Education, and Social Critique
Problem field: ethical aspects of AI integration into educational communication; critical analysis of the social impact of AI on education, especially from the perspective of possible social transformations; paths and prospects in developing of inclusive communication practices in modern education.
