Fundamental Goals and Purposes of Education in the Modern Digital World

Abstract

In recent years, the question of what smart education should be has become relevant in the global scientific community. This process has become more active during the pandemic, as everyone in the world has actively started using technology and artificial intelligence, it has become an integral part of our daily lives. Researchers in the field often hold discussions about the concept of smart education, pedagogical experience in implementing online education, and the use of the latest technologies.
The general public often asks about the risks that are associated with this process. What challenges can there be and/or is there a readiness to respond to these challenges? Research A study was conducted in Georgia (Tbilisi) to clarify these issues and the results of the study showed that currently, ChatGPT and Translate applications are the most popular among undergraduate students in Georgian universities. The readiness of students and professors to use artificial AI systems is average or lower, the incorrect purpose of using these applications and incorrect expectations related to them are common, and the issues of confidentiality and security are also unclear. Accordingly, it can be said that the main goal of education policy makers should be to provide the population (regardless of age and profession) with an existing manual (framework project) on a permanent basis, which explains in detail the ways, methods and risks of using AI systems to ensure smart education and promote the development of society.
