University Science and Education in the Context of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Computerization, digitalization, and robotization are the bright signs of modern life. In this regard, a long-standing scientific problem of artificial intelligence has now acquired a new sound and a variety of applied aspects. The higher education system has also become involved in the information technology orbit. Using the example of Voronezh State University, two main areas of informatization and computerization are revealed: first, the scientific development of artificial intelligence problems by university scientists and the use of artificial intelligence technologies for research, and, second, training of modern specialists in the field of IT technologies in specialized faculties and the expansion of the digital competence among the graduates of other training areas and specialties. The article discusses the need for students’ comprehensive acquaintance with this area of modern scientific knowledge which includes the capabilities of artificial intelligence technologies and its limitations as well.
