Abstract. Introduction. At present, the questions about what requirements society and the environment will impose on a person in the future are particularly acute. In a rapidly changing context, it is essential to prepare students for their future professional activity. Implementation of the latest scientific achievements in the educational process fosters the fulfillment of these requirements.
Methods and literature review. The paper discusses the possibilities of adopting artificial intelligence in education. The barriers to introducing artificial intelligence in education are identified. These are the lack of a formulated social requirement for the level of education of the future specialist; the problems of organizing the interaction between a teacher and artificial intelligence; the lack of a methodology developed to adopt artificial intelligence in education, the lack of appropriate scientific research, and the problem of knowledge representation for information systems.
Conclusions. The findings suggest that the identified barriers are not myths. These obstacles hinder the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies in education. Neglect of these is- sues slows down innovation processes in education. The study of the objectivity of these barriers helps outline the ways to overcome them. The developed automated information systems are considered to be prerequisites for the adoption of artificial intelligence in the education system of the Irkutsk region.
