Abstract

The growing abundance of information in all spheres of public life, stemming from the rapid take-up of new information and communication technologies, poses new challenges for the development of mankind. The study examines this phenomenon in the field of education, as education has particular importance and complex influence on the whole human life and careers. The need to establish, from an early age, some sort of "filters" in the consciousness of students to help them sift the really important things in the ocean of information and develop their knowledge in a consistent and balanced way, building on sustained learning, is key to their harmonious development as citizens and professionals, regardless of their profession. At the same time, for logical reasons, the increasingly sophisticated systems of AI can and should find an adequate implementation in education, assisting this essential process of filtering and promoting the so-called critical thinking among adolescents.
