Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important tool in education. This research is relevant due to the necessity of bridging the gap between the interest in using AI in education and its actual implementation. The research aims to explore the practices of applying AI and neural network systems. In examining the practice of applying AI, the methodological foundation was based on practical experience and scientific research by Russian and international scholars in the field of AI in education. This research examines the main areas of AI application in the educational space and its impact on the educational process. The authors analyzed the use of AI technologies in Russia and abroad and provided recommendations regarding their future use. AI makes it possible to automate routine tasks, improves the quality of education, and adapts the educational process to the individual needs of each learner. Currently, the implementation of AI technologies is mostly experimental. However, most researchers consider this direction promising. The results of this scientific research can be useful for students, scientists, and specialists in AI.
