Strengthen the penetration of all the company\u2019s business operations to withstand competitive pressures (Biolcheva &amp; Sterev, 2024).<\/p>\n<p>In the age of artificial intelligence, there is no way that education will not be affected to one degree or another. Whether it&#8217;s secondary or higher education, artificial intelligence is starting to gradually change the way we learn and teach.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly is artificial intelligence? There are many definitions in the scientific and specialized literature, but in general it can be said that Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a machine to demonstrate abilities inherent in humans &#8211; to reason, learn, plan or create (What is artificial intelligence, 2023)<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Educational institutions are gradually starting to introduce different, new ways of teaching and the corresponding use of artificial intelligence in the educational process.<\/p>\n<p>The research has highlighted the need and opportunity to find a new way for professional training in higher education, including the integration of educational platforms as part of the so-called hybrid model for transforming teaching practices in the digital era (Torres-Rivera et al., 2021).<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of educational institutions should be how to integrate digital technologies, including AI, into educational processes in such a way as to improve the quality of training and teaching. This is becoming one of the main challenges faced by secondary schools and higher education institutions, which in turn requires the development and improvement of digital knowledge among professors and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be competitive and cope with the increasingly challenging environment in the future, teachers in higher and secondary schools need to acquire new skills and competencies to maximize the use of information and communication technologies in teaching and learning processes.<\/p>\n<p>Higher education is a process of experience in learning new things. According to the authors, education helps students build their inner growth without age barrier, and they also add that educators should take advantage of this opportunity to integrate computers and other technologies as a learning tool to facilitate the teaching and learning process.<\/p>\n<p>The question often arises, &#8222;Is it possible for artificial intelligence to replace the human factor?&#8220; This question affects not only education, but all sectors of the economy. In education, it cannot be said that this is possible, but rather, the gaps in teaching and learning are filled with the help of AI. In other words, AI in education should have a complementary, not a primary function, to be used as an additional tool to improve the quality of educational products.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence will only add value to the quality of learning. There are many arguments for the development of artificial intelligence, which has more and more potential to transform higher education than any other technological advance.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Artificial intelligence in education<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the scientific and specialized literature, as a result of conducted studies, several directions and at the same time advantages of the use of artificial intelligence in education have been identified (Torres-Rivera et al., 2021; \u0412rown et al., 2016; Akinwalere &amp; Ivanov, 2022; Ma &amp; Siau, 2018).<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Individualized\/Personalized Learning<\/strong> \u2013 AI provides the opportunity for individualized learning that is difficult to achieve in the traditional classroom. This is done through the provision of various information resources and tasks for pupils and students to perform, tailored to their individual needs and abilities, which increases the effectiveness of training.\u2013 <strong>Access to learning anywhere, anytime<\/strong> \u2013 with the various AI tools\/applications, access to learning is ensured for all, overcoming time, geographical and language barriers. With the help of virtual assistants, online platforms, educational chatbots and virtual classrooms, flexible access to learning resources, answering questions and providing additional materials is provided, facilitating learning for students and students with different schedules and geographical locations. These &#8222;virtual assistants&#8220; can work 24\/7, which increases the accessibility of learning, supporting the learning process outside of the conventional classroom.\u2013 <strong>Automation of administrative tasks<\/strong> \u2013 AI can automate routine tasks such as: grading exam tests and assignments, administering study plans, managing student and student data, properly planning the learning process. This frees up time for teachers, which can be used for personal attention and understanding of learners, faster feedback to students, which cannot be provided by technology in the form of artificial intelligence.\u2013 <strong>Data analysis and trending<\/strong> \u2013 By analyzing large data sets, AI can identify trends and patterns in student performance. This, in turn, allows educators and teachers to anticipate potential problems and take preventive action to improve the learning process.In the conditions of digital transformation and digitalization, it is necessary to accept the fact that artificial intelligence will increasingly be present in all spheres of education (Markov, 2024). In the education sector, artificial intelligence has already begun to initiate new teaching and learning solutions that are currently being tested and restructured in various directions (Akinwalere &amp; Ivanov, 2022). It can make it more convenient and personalized with the help of its many education applications. So the use of artificial intelligence in education can produce excellent results while dramatically improving traditional methods (Catraio, 2021; How AI in education is revolutionizing the education industry, n.d.).<\/p>\n<p>Although AI provides a number of opportunities, including in education, it also poses a number of problems and difficulties (Torres-Rivera et al., 2021; \u0412rown et al., 2016; Akinwalere &amp; Ivanov, 2022; Ma &amp; Siau, 2018).<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Lack of personal contact between teachers and pupils\/students<\/strong> \u2013 this is one of the main disadvantages of using AI. While AI can provide a variety of learning resources at any time, it cannot replace the human relationships, human element, and emotional support that teachers provide.\u2013 <strong>Dependence on technology <\/strong>\u2013 in the presence of technical malfunctions or a lack of technological resources, it is possible that students and teachers are unprepared for work without technological support. Access to learning materials and resources is also restricted\/suspended.\u2013 <strong>Data Security and Ethical Issues<\/strong> \u2013 The use of AI in education raises a number of ethical, security and data privacy issues. The collection and analysis of large amounts of personal data of students requires strict compliance with the legal requirements for the protection of personal information.\u2013 <strong>High investments in time and resources<\/strong> \u2013 the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly accelerated the process of digital transformation in education. However, the integration and use of artificial intelligence in various aspects of the educational process requires significant investment on the part of secondary schools and higher education institutions.\u2013 <strong>Need for training<\/strong> \u2013 in order to effectively use the various applications of AI to improve teaching and learning processes, educators and teachers need to acquire new knowledge and skills in the field of information and communication technologies.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Use of artificial intelligence in education in Bulgaria<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>3.1. Research methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to analyze the opinion of teachers about the use of artificial intelligence in secondary and higher schools in Bulgaria, a survey of 14 questions was compiled and conducted.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was conducted online and completed anonymously. The survey was conducted between May 20 and July 30, 2024. 135 people responded to it. The number of respondents does not claim to be representative of the sample, but there is an opportunity to outline trends regarding the opinion of teachers about the advantages and disadvantages of using artificial intelligence in education.<\/p>\n<p>The questions in the survey are closed, which makes it easier for respondents to complete it. Some of them use a five-point Likert scale, which allows respondents to express how much they agree or disagree with a given statement. Specifically, the survey used questions about the frequency of use of artificial intelligence, its effectiveness in improving the learning process and improving student achievement. To the questions about advantages and disadvantages of AI, respondents have the option to indicate more than one answer. Multiple-choice questions give respondents the freedom to express their opinions in more detail without feeling constrained by pre-set choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.2.

However, quite a large number of solvent people in our country have started to buy machines with artificial intelligence, mostly to override them in their daily household work. A person rarely thinks about the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence unless it directly affects them. A person&#8217;s biggest fear is not being replaced by an artificial intelligence machine in their job. The teaching profession is mostly about communication between two or more people on a given topic. The research carried out showed that in Bulgaria, teachers in schools and universities at this stage do not think that they will be replaced by artificial intelligence and will lose their jobs. They do not see particular advantages of AI, but rather consider its disadvantages such as loss of personal contact and dependence on technology. It is the opinion of the authors that this is an issue that will be subject to increasingly extensive research in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Acknowledgement<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Email from secretariat@industrialgrowth.eu to silviyahristova@uctm.edu on 09.07.2024 at 5:01 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REFERENCES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biolcheva, P. &amp; Sterev, N.
