Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are confidently entering the educational sphere, transforming traditional approaches to learning and opening new opportunities for students and educators. This article presents the results of a survey on students' perceptions of AI
and its application in the educational process. A total of 104 students from three Russian cities participated in the survey. The survey results demonstrated a high level of interest among students in using AI, especially for automating routine tasks, searching for information, and devel-
oping educational materials. At the same time, the participants emphasized the importance of understanding AI's limitations and maintaining a critical approach to its outcomes, which is becoming a key element of digital literacy. The presence of students from a pedagogical university
among the respondents allowed the study to reveal not only general attitudes toward AI but also the specific expectations of future educators. These students expressed their vision of how AI can simplify teachers' work by performing standard tasks such as grading homework, creating
tests, and designing presentations. One of the key findings of the study is the recognition of working with language models as a significant cross-professional skill essential for preparing for future careers. Understanding AI capabilities helps students adapt to the digital educational
environment and use modern technologies to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. Thus, the integration of AI in education creates new opportunities for personalized learning and the development of students’ creative abilities, while also presenting challenges related to the need for ethical guidelines, digital competence, and critical thinking.
