Abstract. Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the educational process and the
scientific work of students, lecturers, researchers and administrators of higher education institutions.
There are limited and contradictory recommendations for the use of artificial intelligence in the
educational process and in the educational programmes of higher education institutions. To define
the scope of AI application, there is a need to develop institutional policies for higher education
institutions, which will allow the academic community to determine the appropriate scope of AI
application in the educational process and prevent the use of AI in areas where ethical norms are
violated. The purpose of the article is to summarise and systematise the experience of forming
institutional policies for the application of artificial intelligence in education, training and research
in higher education institutions using the experience of Kherson State University.
The article presents the developed institutional policies for students, lecturers and researchers with
recommended and not recommended initiatives for the use of AI in the educational process and
research at Kherson State University. The purpose of these institutional policies was to create an
inclusive environment of modern digital tools for involving of lecturers of non-professional
specialties and define the framework for the use of artificial intelligence in education, teaching, and
research of all subjects (participants) of educational activity. The recommendations are aimed at
empowering all participants to select educational components creatively and at improving the
efficiency of the educational process and research activities through the use of AI tools.

Issues requiring further research regarding generative platforms lie in three thematic areas:
knowledge base; transparency and ethics; digital transformation of organizations and societies. It is
also relevant to create an educational environment that encourages the interaction and dissemination
of positive practice of digital transformation of all participants of the educational process.

1. INTRODUCTION
Statement of the problem. In recent years, researchers in the field of education are faced
with issues of studying ethical and educational approaches in the use of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in higher education [1]. It is directly related to the number of platforms and programs that
use AI, the number and availability of which has surged over the past five years. The progress
happened almost imperceptibly: from mobile phone keyboard typing assistants to generative
platforms offering a ready-made product based on input data. In 2022, there was a real
explosion of interest in ChatGPT - a text generation platform. It does not mean that such
platforms did not exist before. It merely means that developers presented a convenient interface
and open access to this platform. This platform enabled the average user to perform a series of
routine tasks such as writing template texts, creating background music, generating images
according to the given description. At the same time, it has allowed to experiment and explore
the possibilities of generative applications independently. The availability of generative
platforms has become a challenge for many industries. Economic analysts were the first to
observe the changes caused by applying of artificial intelligence. According to a McKinsey
company report, one of the impacts of generative AI is the increase in labour productivity and
corresponding revenue growth in the economic sector. This process occurs through activity
automation [2]. But to achieve such a result, it is necessary to consider the need to support
employees in acquiring new skills and creating an inclusive environment. The study provides
examples of using generative AI in order to increase the potential value of work results. One of
them is using AI as a virtual expert (improving customer interaction: self-service, response time
reduction, sales increase, effective personalization, effective content creation), and the other as
a virtual co-author (accelerating the work of a developer as a coding assistant, reducing research
and design time, improving modelling and testing).
Changes have occurred in educational activities as well. Educational institutions were
forced to revise their policies regarding basic processes of education and assessment in a short
term [3]. A study of current instructions for using AI tools showed that most institutions do not
have a final solution to the issue and rely on the personal decisions of individual lecturers [4].
Some institutions try to develop instructions and recommendations for using artificial
intelligence platforms and create an inclusive environment for employees. For example,
Kozminski University in Poland has published recommendations on using ChatGPT in the
educational process [5]. As a response to educators' needs in mastering new skills, a large
number of seminars and webinars for lecturers on using the ChatGPT platform have appeared,
and also discussions began on the rules and norms for using such tools in educational groups of
social networks. The UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education presented a guide
to using ChatGPT, which provides an overview of how ChatGPT works and explains how it
can be used in higher education [6].
This guide raises some of the issues and ethical implications of using AI in higher
education and offers practical steps that higher education institutions can take. The number of
scientific publications on this topic has also increased. For example, a search for the keyword

"ChatGPT" showed that in 2022 there were only three articles with this word, and by 2023 their
number increased to 793. Moreover, most of them belong to medical (25.1%) and social
(16.5%) fields. Among the 209 documents belonging to social field, the majority (54%) is
dedicated to educational issues (Fig. 1), on the one hand, these are positive aspects of using
chatbots in different subjects [7, 8], including finance [9], on the other hand, these are various
problems, "including fraud, honesty and truthfulness of ChatGPT, deception and manipulation"
[10].
Fig. 1. The distribution of results by research areas in academic publications of the Scopus
database by the keyword "ChatGPT"
Among the problems that come to the fore when using generative platforms, there is a
confrontation between the traditional assessment system and flexible methods of encouraging
students to critical and collaborative interaction [11].
Considering the potential benefits and risks associated with the use of generative artificial
intelligence in education, it is essential to develop an appropriate educational policy on artificial
intelligence, that would outline the academic contexts for the responsible use of artificial
intelligence [12].
Analysis of recent research and publications. According to estimates by the McKinsey
Global Institute, by 2030 about 70 percent of companies will implement at least one type of
artificial intelligence technology, and 60 percent of current professions will be automated
within the next ten years [13]. Companies will need employees who work well with AI tools
[13]. There is a demand for AI literacy among educated citizens with various educational
backgrounds without strong knowledge of mathematics or programming [14]. Citizens with
various educational backgrounds should become active AI users and try to understand whether
AI is well applied in their professions [14]. Conceptual understanding of artificial intelligence
is generally associated with cognitive learning, requiring the ability to apply previous
knowledge to new situations [14]. Using AI concepts to understand the real world is a crucial
competence as the job market focuses on a generation that will use "AI as a Service" (AIaaS)
or "AI as service platforms" [15]. They are becoming more common, partially due to the low
183
DOI: 10.33407/itlt.v97i5.5395 ISSN: 2076-8184. Information Technologies and Learning Tools, 2023, Vol 97, №5.
training threshold. ChatGPT as open source for experienced learning and the integration of this
technology into higher education also changes the rules of the game in educational fields [16].
Students without computer training can successfully acquire AI competencies and skills
using ready-made platforms without any programming knowledge [14]. Machine learning, deep
learning, and neural network are examples of AI concepts required for AI literacy [14]. It is
necessary to understand how machine learning algorithms detect patterns from data [17, 18].
For collaborative learning AI can support tasks, machine learning (ML) may still require human
intervention, deep learning (DL) can prepare tasks without human intervention [19].
The impact of AI on education remains uncertain. A more holistic approach to the use of
AI in the educational process (AIEd) is needed. A lack of code-free and convenient applications
has prevented the use of such tools by experts in the subject area [15]. However, code-free AI
platforms can make AI accessible to small organizations that lack the technological
competencies needed for decision-making that requires advanced programming skills, as well
as it can guide users in the process of developing and deploying AI models without the need
for a detailed study of complex algorithms [15].
There are various emphases on the application of AI in education. Among them are: how
different aspects of learning develop AI potentially or are influenced by it [20], how to
understand the possibilities and challenges of AI [21], how lecturers can teach students to use
AI tools effectively to solve real-life tasks [22], how to use ChatGPT to alleviate difficult
labour-intensive tasks during the planning process for lecturers to make the implementation of
experiential learning more efficient [16], the reorientation of AI literacy courses and the
combination of conceptual learning with mathematical formulas and programming for students
from different educational programs [14], and how code-free AI can use ML, bridging the gap
between experts in the subject area and technology.
AI in education requires collaborative work among training designers (guarantors of
educational programs), educational psychologists, programmers, data processing specialists,
and other stakeholders [20]. Implementing AI means a balanced triad of efforts between
educators/learning developers, students, and technologies. Stakeholders involved with AI also
need to explore issues related to AI ethics to assess whether an AI decision is ethical and to
decide whether it should be used [14]. Two types of factors determine the behavioural
acceptance of AI: perceived benefits and ease of use [23]. Typically, AI literacy initiatives
require some prior knowledge in mathematics, statistics, or computer science [14]. The level of
student competency in AI concepts includes the abilities to Remember, Understand, Apply,
Analyse, and Evaluate the implementation of tools.
AIEd has been implemented in various educational spheres [20]:
1. Classroom support
2. Learning analytics
3. Simulation-based learning
4. AI capabilities to meet individual needs
5. Providing active learning experiences in simulation learning
Areas of AI application in Higher Education Institutions include: learning, teaching,
assessment, and administration [21], text generation, data analysis and interpretation, literature
review, formatting and editing, as well as peer review, educational support and constructive
feedback, adapted learning programs, individual career guidance, and mental health support
[24]. The role of artificial intelligence in learning, teaching, assessment, and research is
summarized in Table 1.

Applications of AI The role of AI
Application of AI in (i) assignment of tasks based on individual competence (to
student learning personalise tasks for student learning, the lack of supporting
learning resources as one of the biggest challenges for adapting
tasks to individual needs),
(ii) Enabling human-machine communication (AI chatbots and
interactive books that allow students to communicate with machines
about their learning. Students interact with AI agents through a
question-and-answer approach; when and how to use chatbots to
facilitate, educate and engage students remains unclear)
(iii) analysing students work to provide feedback (to provide
students with timely guidance and feedback by analysing their work
and learning process),
(iv) increasing adaptability and interactivity in the digital
environment (automatically adapting difficulty and covert
assessment, adaptive games).
The role of AI in (i) providing adaptive teaching strategies (to recommend teaching
teaching content, optimal content presentation, teaching methods and
communication strategies),
(ii) enhancing the teaching capacity of scientific and pedagogical
staff (to help them manage group teaching through effective
uploading, assignment and distribution of learning materials and
tasks),
(iii) support for professional development of lecturers (the limited
number of pre-designed suggestions and comments may not be
suitable for experienced lecturers).
With AI/machine learning technology, historical data in the Higher
Education Institution (HEI) and current data on student profiles and
performance can be used to analyse and predict learning gaps and
suggest learning steps that students should take to improve their
performance. This will result in each student having an

(ii) predicting student performance (by assessing the extent and
quality of student participation in educational activities such as
discussion forums for distance education and MOOCs due to the
absence of lecturers, the selection of appropriate data for student
performance prediction models remains difficult as the data do not
match those used in traditional educational research).

At the same time, the use of AI has many challenges and limitations, as summarised in

13. AI can be a powerful tool in education, but it is crucial to ensure it is used responsibly,
ethically, and in ways that genuinely enhance learning and teaching experiences.
GenAI can help a researcher to disseminate their work to a wider audience by translating
academic terminology into a conversational style [22]. Other tools like ChatGPT can be utilized
for creating speakers` bios, developing social media advertisements, creating event
descriptions, writing invitations to various stakeholders, developing press releases, and creating
marketing content [16].
Employing "code-free" solutions, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can not only save
time and resources but also achieve a growth in the pace of development and quality of
education [15].
Furthermore, research findings [26] indicate that higher education institution
administrations need to recognize the necessity of developing ethical academic policies at the
institutional and societal levels. It is crucial to cultivate an understanding among students and
researchers about the benefits and risks associated with the new reality – artificial intelligence.
This involves promoting AI literacy, ethical understanding, and responsible usage among
all parties involved. All stakeholders need to be on board and aware of the implications, risks,
and benefits of AI. Only then a full potential of AI in education can be realized in a balanced
and sustainable manner.
The research goal. Given the outlined challenges, the objective of the article is to
generalize and systematize the experience and to shape institutional policy for the application
of artificial intelligence in education, teaching, and research in higher education institutions
(based on the experience of Kherson State University).
Research tasks:
– Identify and describe changes in the interaction of participants in the educational
process, in particular, lecturers and students, taking into account the possibilities of
using AI;
– Characterize the main components of the developed institutional policy for the
application of AI in education, teaching, and research at Kherson State University;
– Outline directions for further research regarding the use of generative platforms by
members of academic communities.
Due to active military actions, occupation, and relocation of the university, the methods
of personal data collection were significantly complicated by security requirements and
communication possibilities, so the research was carried out using virtual tools. This paper
proposes a thematic study of the process and results of forming institutional policies for the
application of artificial intelligence in education, training, and research in higher education
institutions, taking as an example the generalization of the experience of Kherson State
University.
The research was based on semi-structured interviews and organized discussion platforms
with representatives of the academic community of Kherson State University. In particular, the
results of discussing the use of AI in learning, teaching, and scientific activity were taken into
account:
– 5 meetings of discussion clubs (May - June 2023);
– 2 meetings of the Scientific and Methodological Council (in May and June 2023);
– 9 meetings of the working group on the development of general policies for the use
of AI in Kherson State University (May - June 2023);

3. FINDINGS
3.1. Model of the subject interaction of the lecturer, the student, and artificial
intelligence. In our study, we operate with the definition of the concept of artificial intelligence
(AI) as an "organized set of information technologies, with the use of which it is possible to
perform complex tasks through the use of a system of scientific research methods and
algorithms for processing information obtained or independently created during work, as well
as create and use their own knowledge, decision-making models, information processing
algorithms, and determine ways to achieve the set tasks"[27].
The creation, implementation, and use of AI technologies in higher education at the
conceptual level has influenced changes in the subject interaction of participants in the
educational process, in particular lecturers and students. Artificial intelligence plays an
important role in such interaction (Fig. 2).

3.2. Working with artificial intelligence models. Artificial intelligence tools are built
on machine learning. Proper machine learning requires large volumes of data. When working
with artificial intelligence models (see Table 4), it should be considered that their training is
based on large databases (data corpora) of previously created work. It should also be
remembered that generative adversarial networks, which form the basis of artificial intelligence
platforms, operate on the principle of "averaging" available information. Depending on the
nature of the data on which the generative network is built, an appropriate result should be
expected. The technology offers the user information and recommendations only from this data
bank.

Working with artificial intelligence models, one should pay attention to:
– Data labelling – keywords that describe the data and assign it to a certain class, for
example, information about what is depicted in the image. Data annotation will
determine how artificial intelligence will "see" your queries. A result will be
generated, depending on the set of keywords;
– Data balance – the representation of certain concepts. The platform may "not know"
concepts, names, which are specific to a certain race, gender, culture, or nationality.
For example, for the query "Kotigoroshko" or "Ivasik Telesik" (characters from
Ukrainian folk tales), the results will most likely not resemble the known images
(textual or graphic);
192
DOI: 10.33407/itlt.v97i5.5395 ISSN: 2076-8184. Information Technologies and Learning Tools, 2023, Vol 97, №5.
– Corpus orientation for a specific task – a platform that generates text will not generate
images, or a general-purpose platform cannot professionally answer legal queries. A
platform built on modern texts cannot correctly generate text in a style that is specific
to another epoch;
– Control and censorship of data – the topic of the ethics of artificial intelligence is
relevant. The negative experience of previous developments has given a reason for
restrictions in generating texts and images. AI platforms will avoid topics of war,
violence, disputes, hate speech, etc.
At present, there is no so-called "strong" artificial intelligence capable of performing all
intellectual operations like a human. There are different generative AI platforms designed to
perform only a clearly defined narrow range of actions, known as "weak" artificial intelligence.
When working with textual generative AI platforms, it is advisable to:
– use AI as a more complex resource for obtaining information than search engines
(like Google);
– ask AI about the definition of concepts to compare them with other sources;
– evaluate the responses of the chatbot and discuss them with it;
– use AI to summarize a text;
– clarify and specify questions to the chatbot using prompts to get an answer of a higher
quality.
ChatGPT can primarily be associated with an assistant that accelerates your work, but it
cannot invent a final product. That is the responsibility of the author of the work. It is worth
remembering that the chatbot is a polite assistant, so the quality of the answers depends on the
questions. If the questions are strong, the answers will be interesting. If the questions are weak,
general phrases will be given in response. The chatbot is good at understanding structure, but
not at content. Most people start using it as a search engine (like Google), but it does not work
well in this way. However, it is skilful at structuring text, suggesting frameworks, or using the
frameworks that you provide. For example, you can ask it to write the structure of a resume.
The approaches to chat tasks:
1. You write a fairly detailed and large query that is context-oriented, where you
describe what is generally being discussed. Then describe the role of the chatbot. For
example, you write that you want the chatbot to be a consultant in a certain subject
area. Then you give it a specific task and then explain in what format you would like
to get the answer;
2. You explain the task to the chatbot as in the previous approach, but ask it to put you
questions so that it can perform the task qualitatively, only after you answer the
questions, the chatbot will perform the task.
Graphical platforms that are used by artificial intelligence can create images of
sufficient quality. To create an image, you need to give a detailed description (or "prompt") of
what should be depicted.
Graphical AI platforms can perform various tasks:
– stylizing images - the inputted user image is stylized by AI according to a given
template (for example, in the style of Malevich or Picasso), or enhanced by it;
– generating images - creating a picture from a textual description (prompt) provided
by the user.
Writing textual descriptions (or prompts) is a special creative work. The textual
description should present the style and technical requirements for the image. The more
detailed the description, the more accurately the image will be created according to your
expectations.
When writing a description, you need to present:

– learning foreign languages (you may get instant feedback on your pronunciation,
grammar, and vocabulary);
– restoring photos;
– enabling students to learn at their own pace, collaborate with each other, and have
full access to educational resources in the digital environment.
We do not recommend using artificial intelligence in learning activities as following:
– during control tests (current, thematic, final control, especially during the
examination session);
– when writing an essay on a given topic (the essay should contain personal
impressions, justifications, and reflections on a specific problem or issue. It is an
independent student creative work of an analytical, narrative, descriptive, reflexive
and critical nature, so the AI-generated text, which does not contain personal
thoughts, analysis, and criticism, cannot be presented as an author’s essay);
– when performing calculation tasks (general-purpose generative platforms (for
example, ChatGPT at the current stage of development) can perform simple
calculations at the level of arithmetic operations and not complex transformations, so
solving problems and performing calculation will contain logical errors,
contradictions. Thus, it is better to use special-purpose AI tools for calculations, (for
example, Wolfram Alpha);
– publishing messages with generated images (in particular, in social networks, the
generated image is an illustration and devalues the reality and importance of the
message / news, and is also perceived as a made-up story).

– forming tasks, tests, control questions for checking the student knowledge, a list of
topics of abstracts / essays;
– development of the structure of educational and teaching and methodological
publications;
– forming a list of topics for course papers / qualification papers.
Working with educational technologies (EdTech) offers the following opportunities:
– during various types of learning activities, we recommend the lecturers:
personalization of learning;
– differentiation of tasks for students;
– providing learners with feedback on what knowledge they need to complete a task (if
it is performed incorrectly);
– processing survey results of students based on the study of academic disciplines;
– literature review from primary sources (Bing and others);
– assisting students in answering the most common questions while mastering the
educational component.
In the context of the potential use of artificial intelligence by students
– to offer creative tasks to students, when it is difficult or impossible to generate an
answer;
– to develop tasks for students that require the use of artificial intelligence platforms
with subsequent critical assessment of the provided answers;
– to prepare tasks that require group discussion of the answers provided by artificial
intelligence;
– to choose oral forms of academic achievement control;
– to suggest search questions when formulating questions, considering that artificial
intelligence only generates, but it does not search for an answer;
– pay more attention to interpersonal communication and discussions;
– to ensure the possibility of disabling access to the network during written or
automated control on online learning platforms; ⎯ to detect plagiarism / text
identified by artificial intelligence detectors; ⎯ to give assignments in a graphic (not
textual) form;
– to use works or articles for analysis that are not widespread in discussions or
descriptions;
– to offer tasks for comparison, detection of trends, hidden connections, anomalies,
recurring elements, etc;
– to ask students to provide specific facts, examples or give details to the situations;
– to offer tasks for filling / creating national databases (e.g., academic databases);
– to develop evaluation criteria that specify the individual contribution of the student.
We do not recommend using artificial intelligence in teaching in such types of activity:
– to use the generated structure / title / content without critically rethinking;
– when forming a list of educational, educational and methodological sources;
– when using AI as a reference tool like Wikipedia (AI-generated "facts" may be made
up or not precisely formulated, as artificial intelligence generates rather than seeks
an answer);
– when developing methodical recommendations for conducting laboratory work;
– when developing syllabuses of educational disciplines / educational components in
sections: "Form (method) of control and requirements for evaluating learning
outcomes", "List of recommended sources" (without additional verification).

In the near future, the implementation of general policies for the use of artificial
intelligence in education, teaching, and research at Kherson State University [29] has identified
the following directions:
1. It is recommended for scientific and pedagogical staff to: 1) update syllabuses of
educational components, taking into account the specifics of using artificial intelligence in
educational activities; 2) replace traditional forms of control (or assessment) of educational
activities of higher education students with more effective ones, aimed not at reproducing
specific knowledge, but at checking the ability to think critically and analyse (answers to which
are difficult or impossible to generate).
2. In the field of professional development, it is recommended for the university scientific
and pedagogical staff to undergo internship programs through non-formal / informal education
on the use of artificial intelligence technologies (at least 1 credit per year) or to receive
additional education in the field of artificial intelligence.
3. It is recommended to start conducting: 1) an information campaign on AI literacy, in
particular, general aspects, risks, and threats of the use and further dissemination of artificial
intelligence technologies in Ukraine; 2) thematic round tables on the use of artificial
intelligence in various fields of knowledge.
4. It is recommended for the chief editors of the university scientific journals to: 1) add
information to the publication ethics (culture) of authors' publications about the possible use of
artificial intelligence in the process of manuscript preparation; 2) prepare special thematic
issues dedicated to the research of artificial intelligence.
5. Conclusions and perspectives for further research.
6. Given the relevance of education response to changes in technology, there is a need to
create institutional policies of a higher education institution regarding the use of artificial
intelligence platforms. Accordingly, in the process of the research, general policies for the use
of artificial intelligence in education, teaching, and research at Kherson State University were
developed. The purpose of these institutional policies was to create an inclusive environment
of modern digital tools for involving of lecturers of non-professional specialties and define the
framework for the use of artificial intelligence in education, teaching, and research of all
subjects (participants) of educational activity. The risks and advantages of using AI tools were
determined. Based on the analysis of the generally defined properties and functional capabilities
of artificial intelligence platforms, recommendations were made, and examples of the use of AI
in the educational process were given. The presented examples enable scientists, lecturers, and
students, who are not specializing in IT, familiarize themselves with the existing AI resources
and create their own materials using AI platforms. It also gives a chance to form a professional
personal attitude to AI tools for all participants of the educational process and to consider the
results of their work.
7. Issues requiring further research regarding generative platforms lie in three thematic
areas: knowledge base; transparency and ethics; digital transformation of organizations and
societies. Accordingly, further research requires methodological aspects of the use of such
platforms, expansion of industry applications (not only technical one). All institutional
documents on academic integrity and definitions related to plagiarism, quotations, and text
matches need to be reviewed and updated. It is also relevant to create an educational
environment that encourages the interaction and dissemination of positive practice of digital
transformation of all participants of the educational process, through professional development
programs through non-formal/informal education.
