International Wednesday (23.04.2025). Round "THE BLACK MENAGERIE"

On April 23, 2025, the international meeting was moderated by Masaryk University (MUNI), Czech Republic, Brno. The focus of the Black Menagerie project was artificial intelligence - AI. The scale of the impact of this digital phenomenon made it possible to conceptualize it in all three dimensions of the black menagerie. Due to its negative impact on the environment and ethical issues that remain unnoticed, artificial intelligence receives the status of a Black Elephant; the unpredictability of consequences in education and society, such as job displacement or bias and inequality in the field of education, gives grounds to consider it a Black Swan; and the imperceptible erosion of social and emotional well-being due to the impact of AI is an insidious threat that Czech students identify as a Black Jellyfish. The topic of the presentation turned out to be extremely interesting and relevant for today's youth, who lively and actively discussed the risks and threats that AI brings. Sincere gratitude to all participating applicants from the leaders, Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. Sukhovetskaya L. V. and Ph.D., Shlapakov O. S. See you next Wednesday!
