THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING DIGITAL COMPETENCE IN INFORMATION SECURITY OF FUTURE COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHERS

Abstract

The article examines the use of artificial intelligence to ensure information security by computer science teachers. The relevance of the article is due to the widespread use of artificial intelligence and the need to use relevant and innovative information security resources in the process of training future computer science teachers, which will allow them to increase their level of knowledge in this area, as well as more effectively counteract information security threats. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in the process of developing digital competence in information security for future computer science teachers. The author explores the advantages and disadvantages of using AI in the process of developing digital competence in information security of future computer science teachers. Among the main advantages: using chatbots to obtain certain information or instructions, using AI to detect phishing and internet fraud, using specialized tools with AI to automate the process of scanning school network vulnerabilities. The author includes AI hallucination, a decrease in users’ critical thinking, and the collection of personal data as the main disadvantages. The article describes real examples of the use of artificial intelligence in the process of developing digital competence in information security of future computer science teachers. The author also analyzes the concept of “digital competence”, its components in the context of training future computer science teachers, as well as educational programs of the specialty A4.09 “Secondary Education (Informatics)” of Ukrainian higher education institutions regarding the presence of relevant competencies. We see the prospects for further research as an analysis of the capabilities of artificial intelligence in the process of studying social engineering methods, as well as the possibility of integrating AI tools in the process of developing digital competence in information security of future computer science teachers.
