The rise of artificial intelligence can be felt in all areas of life. The technology,
which has been continuously developing since the 1950s, has gradually entered everyday
life unnoticed by most people. With the appearance of Chat GPT, launched by Open AI,
which exploded in the fall of 2022, events accelerated, and we are getting more and
more information about the operation of AI. All areas of education have responded
to these changes, to different degrees and speeds depending on the country. The fundamental
task of education is to prepare students for life and to provide them with usable
knowledge. Professionals working in education, and educational researchers are constantly
looking for ways to prepare students for a world that we do not yet know, but one
thing is certain: AI will be a determining factor in it. Knowledge about the opportunities
and dangers inherent in AI is slowly being incorporated into the curriculum, and the
first condition for this is that teachers are also adequately trained in this area.
In this study, I analyze the topic based on the literature on the use of AI in education
and the preparedness of professionals to see how ready education is for a world where
AI literacy will be, or already is, a fundamental condition for competitiveness.
