STEAM-education as a mechanism for overcoming risks of artificial intelligence influence on the educational process

The article considers an innovative approach that combines science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and art into a single learning system – STEAM-education, which aims to form and develop students’ mental, cognitive, and creative qualities that will be used in the future. to determine the competitiveness of an individual in the labor market. The need to overcome the risks of introducing AI into education through STEAM-methods in the process of teaching foreign languages determines the relevance of studying this topic. The purpose of the article is to expand scientific knowledge about STEAM-education methods that can compensate for the possible negative effects of AI on the educational process using the example of teaching a foreign language to students of non-linguistic specialties. The scientific innovation lies in the actualization of the application of STEAM-education methods to teaching foreign languages in the context of the introduction of AI. Such research methods as the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, as well as the systematization of the data obtained were used. Information structuring is carried out by methods of comparative analysis and classification. The analysis of the factual material has shown that STEAM-education is able to minimize the risks associated with the influence of AI on the educational process effectively, and can also act as a universal tool that allows to organize the training of highly qualified specialists who are able to perform their tasks efficiently. The key risks of using AI have been identified, each of which corresponds to a specific method of STEAM-education. In the future of AI development, a teacher will have a key role. Further growth of AI in the educational process is predicted.
