The modern global landscape is rapidly advancing, driven by the significant potential of information technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Contemporary AI systems can serve as powerful tools in higher education, contributing to the development of innovative educational technologies and teaching methods, as well as acting as knowledgeable assistants to teachers. In this article, we present a range of effective AI tools and outline AI’s technological capabilities in automating routine tasks for educators. A distinctive feature of this study is the inclusion of data from an empirical experiment aimed at assessing educators’ attitudes toward the use of AI in their professional activities and their awareness of AI-based tools. For the first time, we present data from a survey of 205 educators from Ukrainian universities, summarized by specific indicators and criteria.
