Abstract
Introduction. The relevance of the topic is due to the rapid development of information and communication technologies, as well as the need to modernize the educational process in the context of globalization and the digitalization of society. We live in a world where artificial intelligence filters vast amounts of online information for us, changing our perception of reality, and is being introduced into education, healthcare, and a number of other areas where we previously relied solely on humans. Information technologies make it possible to create increasingly sophisticated forms of virtual reality that compete in significance and effectiveness with genuine reality. An artificial neural network is one of the branches of artificial intelligence, whose main task is to model the functioning of the human brain. Among the unresolved problems, a special place is occupied by the issues of modeling consciousness and artificial intelligence, which are discussed in two main dimensions-natural-scientific, technical, and socio-philosophical. One of the central questions of this topic is the relationship between consciousness and the brain. Artificial intelligence will change the role of humans in the cognition of the world, modern politics, and the functioning of society. Purpose setting. The analysis of the problems of neuro-digitalization in modern education as one of the leading trends of globalization, as well as the prospects and limitations of neuro-digital technologies and artificial intelligence technologies in globalizing education. Methodology and methods of the study. Theoretical analysis of the problems of digitalization in education as a leading instrument of its globalization. Digital globalization as the environment for the functioning of the 21st-century university. Qualitative content analysis of globalizing education, the phenomenon of consciousness, and the problems of artificial intelligence. Result. The globalization of education has most often been associated with the prospects of developing open and distance education and the use of the Internet. Through the unfolding of informatization, globalization of education is facilitated. Researchers in artificial intelligence have discovered the necessity of understanding the mechanisms of the learning process, the nature of language, and sensory perception. It has become clear that in order to create machines that imitate the functioning of the human brain, it is essential to understand how billions of interconnected neurons operate. Conclusion. Based on the study, we concluded that it is impossible to technically model all aspects of human consciousness. The most difficult problem facing modern science is the understanding of the processes of the human mind, not just the imitation of its functioning, which directly affects the fundamental theoretical problems of psychological science. Who will serve whom: artificial intelligence to humans, or humans to artificial intelligence?
