Abstract

The analysis of foreign and Russian publications on the emergence and use of artificial intelligence (AI) has shown how modern technological advances are being introduced into the educational process of higher educational institutions, including the foreign languages teaching. This paper defines artificial intelligence as an educational technology, studies this process in order to predict the future nature of the higher education system in the world, where AI is becoming a part of the structure and not only of education, but our entire society. Some of the advantages and disadvantages that can be encountered both by higher educational institutions and students in the study of foreign languages are identified and analyzed. The specific areas of work with AI, which can increase the efficiency of foreign languages teaching, are described.
