Перспективы и риски использования технологий искусственного интеллекта и VR в школе

Abstract

This article analyzes the opportunities and risks of using artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in the educational process. The main objective of the study is to examine the synergy between these two technologies, determine their prospects in education, and assess potential risks. The study used mixed methods: a qualitative analysis of international and domestic scientific sources was conducted, and a survey of more than 42,000 students and teachers in Kazakhstan was carried out, the results of which were processed quantitatively. The results of the study showed the potential of AI and VR technologies for implementing adaptive learning, increasing student engagement, and optimizing the work of teachers. The survey confirmed the participants' interest in new technologies and their readiness for implementation. At the same time, significant risks were identified, such as data confidentiality, plagiarism, ethical issues, and infrastructure deficiencies. In conclusion, the combination of AI and VR is a new and promising direction for education, particularly for distance learning, but its safe and effective implementation requires comprehensive methodological and organizational solutions that take into account the identified risks.
