Philosophy of the Future in the Context of Scientific and Pedagogical Workers Training and Artificial Intelligence Application

Abstract

The article is aimed to introduce a conceptual and categorical framework of the future, to analyse the philosophical fundamentals of scientific and pedagogical workers training and artificial intelligence application, and to reveal applicable scenarios of establishment of efficient training in future in the context of application of artificial intelligence. Methodology: To conduct the research thoroughly we used mixed methodology. A scientific literature review was used in order to establish the theoretical basics of the investigation, to clarify the relevant ideas, and to develop the research methodology. During the investigation the most recent 41 papers devoted to the philosophy of future-focused education and application of artificial intelligence were selected to describe the problem accurately. To collect data the questionnaires, surveys and online data acquisition were applied. The research included three stages and lasted during September, 2021 – May, 2023. The research involved 119 scientific and pedagogical workers from institutions of higher education including instructors, post-graduate students and undergraduates. Results: The research interpreted the category artificial intelligence from the philosophical perspective, described the applications of artificial intelligence in the process of training of scientific and pedagogical workers at the institutions of higher education, and elaborated the model of artificial intelligence application while training scientific and pedagogical workers. Also, four future-focused scenarios to implement the model were outlined. Scientific Novelty: The study initially represents a unique perspective of philosophical interpretation of the future. Also, it brings original ideas to design the model of artificial intelligence application while training scientific and pedagogical workers that has not been done before. Conclusion: The model can be used for the improvement of scientific and pedagogical workers training at the institutions of higher education and prepare them to future transformation within the educational environment.

Philosophy of future: analytical overview of interaction between education, science, and artificial intelligence in the context of contemporary challenges

“…Also, educational (Chiu et al, 2023;Zhang & Aslan, 2021) and ethical dimensions (Berg, 2020) are differentiated. The philosophical principles oriented towards effective implementation of AI in education and science concern a range of perspectives that provide the ethical, epistemological, and social aspects of integrating AI technologies (Nyholm & Rüther, 2023;Orel et al, 2023). They are important for fostering responsible use of technology within the educational and scientific environments.…”

“…Philosophers, as a rule, explore the nature of the future regarding the questions about its existence, reality, and relationship to the past and present (Orel et al, 2023). Some recent philosophical perspectives view the future as a concrete reality that is going to happen (Todd, 2023), while other findings conceptualize the future as a mere abstraction or construct of human consciousness (Poli, 2019).…”
