On December 11, 2023, Professor Simon Redfern of Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) conducted a seminar for the teaching staff of Astana International University. The professor proposed for discussion the current topic of the 21st century “Communication, education, and research in the age of AI.” From the question “Should we be afraid of artificial intelligence, since technological innovations such as a calculator, a mobile phone, the Internet, etc. have long been part of our lives?” - the professor began the seminar. Using real examples, he showed the capabilities of AI used by different groups of people. The professor emphasized that based on the results of students’ work using Chat GPT, it is difficult to unambiguously assess the skills and competence of students and specialists. Therefore, in modern times there is concern for the quality of knowledge of the younger generation. “With the help of intelligent programs, a student can write an excellent essay, draw a beautiful picture, prepare a good project, but to what extent can this student be an expert in his field?” “How can teachers and employers recognize a student’s true knowledge and skills?” These and other questions were raised in the lecture by Professor Simon Redfern.
