ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF MILITARY CADETS

Abstract

The article examines the potential of artificial intelligence as a means of developing the professional competencies of military cadets within the system of modern military education. The relevance of the study is обусловed by the digital transformation of the educational environment, the increasing complexity of military training tasks, and the need to develop in cadets analytical thinking, readiness to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, the ability for independent learning, and effective work with information. The purpose of the article is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the possibilities of applying artificial intelligence technologies in the process of forming the professional competencies of military cadets. The study employed methods of scientific literature analysis, a comparative pedagogical approach, generalization of contemporary practices in the digitalization of education, and system analysis. The results show that artificial intelligence contributes to the personalization of learning, increases the objectivity of assessing academic achievements, and promotes the development of situational analysis skills and the modeling of professional actions. It is demonstrated that artificial intelligence shows the greatest effectiveness when integrated into simulation-based, adaptive, and analytical educational environments. It is noted that the application of these technologies requires consideration of pedagogical, organizational, ethical, and information security limitations. It is concluded that artificial intelligence should be regarded not as a substitute for the teacher, but as an intelligent tool that enhances the quality of professional training for military specialists.
