Kherson State University Science Days — 2026

As part of the Science Days of Kherson State University – 2026, the KhSU Scientific Library organized a scientific and practical online event dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence tools in self-study and scientific research.

The moderator of the event, Director of the KhSU Scientific Library Alla Koval, welcomed the participants and emphasized the relevance of the topic in the context of the rapid development of digital technologies and the transformation of modern science. In her opening remarks, she emphasized the importance of developing skills for the responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence tools in educational and research activities.

The speaker of the event was Vitaliy Kobets, Doctor of Economics, Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering of Kherson State University, who presented a lecture “Goal Setting, Prioritization, Planning, and Frameworks for Working with AI in Self-Study and Research.”

...artificial intelligence can significantly simplify the performance of routine tasks, however, excessive dependence on digital tools is capable of forming so-called «illusion of knowledge», where a person receives quick answers but does not form deep understanding and lasting knowledge.

Particular attention >Vitalii Kobets was devoted to the cognitive features of the human brain, which biologically requires intellectual challenges and productive effort. It is precisely difficulties and independent comprehension of information that contribute to learning, memorization, and the development of critical thinking.

Within the lecture, three modes of human interaction with artificial intelligence were presented:

• automation;
• augmentation;
• implementation, where the human acts as a kind of «director» of the process and influences the final result.

>Vitalii Mykolaiovych also emphasized the importance of clear prompting to AI, critical analysis of received responses, verification of information, and academic integrity. It was underscored that the responsibility for using the results of artificial intelligence work always remains with the human.

Event participants became acquainted with modern approaches to interacting with AI, principles of cognitive hygiene, the SIFT algorithm, as well as the features of thinking systems in the context of using artificial intelligence.

The event generated significant interest among teachers, scientists, graduate students, and learners, and became a platform for discussing the current challenges and opportunities that modern digital technologies open up for science and education.
