Проблеми ефективності професійної мовної комунікації в умовах інформаційної агресії: матеріали ІІ Всеукраїнської науково-практичної конференції з міжнародною участю (м. Київ, 28 листопада 2025 року).

C. 29-32https://elar-kingu.kyiv.ua/handle/123456789/1665Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a technological innovation into a socio-cultural phenomenon that reshapes how people learn, communicate, and construct meaning. In the field of language education, AI introduces both remarkable opportunities and complex ethical challenges. This paper explores the dual nature of AI’s influence on professional communication: as a facilitator that enhances linguistic competence, personalization, and inclusivity, and as a potential disruptor that threatens authenticity, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility. Within the Ukrainian educational context—marked by ongoing information warfare and the global digital transformation—the paper emphasizes the urgent need to integrate AI consciously and ethically into language teaching.enТезиArtificial Intelligence (AI)Digital discernmentEthical awarenessPersonalizationAccessibilityInclusionProfessional skill simulationLinguistic precisionAlgorithmic biasАi and language education: friend or foe in professional communicationThesis
