ASAI Launches Survey of Use of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Bratislava, December 7 (TASR) - The Association for Artificial Intelligence in Slovakia (ASAI), in cooperation with selected Slovak universities and the University Student Council, is launching a survey to obtain an overview of the current state of teaching and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, TASR has learnt from Miroslava Sachova, a member of the ASAI Board of Directors. The aim is to identify the challenges faced by students and educators, and to propose opportunities for further developing this field. "Artificial intelligence is slowly making its way into schools. I don't think that most teachers are surprised any more by what it's capable of doing. However, in schools and universities we are still learning how to approach AI - where it can be a useful tool, and where, on the contrary, we are walking on thin ice, either in terms of ethics or by neglecting to think for ourselves. This survey will help us to understand what stage of technology adoption individual universities have reached," explained Peter Murar, vice dean for development and public relations at the University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava. Sachova emphasised that AI makes it possible to identify opportunities to improve administration, to address barriers such as a lack of resources or experts and to provide strategic planning for further development. It also helps universities to respond effectively to ethical challenges related to data protection and digital inclusion, ensuring that AI delivers equal opportunities for all students and staff. The association believes that the results of the survey will provide valuable information for developing strategies to support AI education in Slovakia. lin/df/ko/mf
