THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON THE PROCESSES OF SELF-CHANGE IN THE PERSONALITIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION APPLICANTS

Abstract

The article depicts key aspects of research into the impact of artificial intelligence on the self-change processes of higher education applicants. The sample includes the number of respondents who study at Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State University, Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University, Kropyvnytskyi Institute of the Private Higher Educational Institution «University of Modern Knowledge», and Central Ukrainian National Technical University. The total number of survey participants was 385 people aged 16 to 25.
The study found that language models such as Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and Claude-instant are the most appealing.
Artificial intelligence is most often used to «search for information and answers» and «do homework».
The advantages of artificial intelligence were outlined, namely: «responds quickly to questions», «responds clearly to requests», «ease of use», and «expansion of information content». That is, you should not spend a lot of time searching for answers; it is better to master new material. The ease of presentation of the material was noted.
The main disadvantages of using artificial intelligence include: «false information», «the need to verify information», «sometimes makes mistakes» and «does not understand the precise sciences».
Regarding the replacement of humans in their chosen professions by artificial intelligence (AI), the following positions were identified: «cannot replace specialists in the ‘human-to-human’ sphere», «can partially replace», and «can completely replace, but not now».
Most respondents note that artificial intelligence is an «assistant» for them. In general, the following positions prevail: «learning aid», «source of information», and «friend».
General recommendations are proposed for applicants to higher education institutions.
The prospect for further research is a thorough study of the impact of artificial intelligence on the processes of self-change of personality by applicants to higher education institutions.
