Abstract

The article analyzes the literature on approaches to the use of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) service "ChatGPT", ethical, philosophical and technical aspects. The analyzed sources made it possible to identify general features of the practical application of this service when working with students. Possible ways of using AI in the teaching of disciplines of the humanitarian cycle in institutions of higher education are shown, in particular, on the example of the discipline "Teaching technologies of professional disciplines" of the specialty "Professional education". A trend has been revealed regarding the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) service "ChatGPT" by students. In the process of empirical research, the author proposed to carry out a preliminary assessment of the texts written by the student, to find errors and suggest the correctness of written statements, for example, regarding the writing of term papers, and also suggested that students generate lists of current literature on selected topics, which significantly updated and refreshed the selection of materials from the academic discipline. Among the AI application methods tested on humanities students, the following were highlighted: problem-developmental, heuristic, partial-research, project method, etc. The conducted research showed that more than 80 % of students noted that after using the given ways of using ChatGPT in educational activities, their motivation to learn the educational material increased significantly, and the use of AI brings some "futurism" to the educational process
