Applications of Consciousness Models in Education

Abstract
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the emergence of a new type of conscientious subject will significantly change education and other areas. AI is expected to be able to become an analog of consciousness. Discussions on the adoption of the EU AI Act show that the rapid development of AI requires a review of the challenges related to the creation and use of AI. Education-related tasks that can be addressed through modelling include: acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for human beings in order to communicate with AI; adaptation to AI caused changes in social structure; correction of deviations and errors in AI action.
The aim of the study is to investigate the principles of interaction between AI and humans.
Methods developed in analytical psychology and mathematical modelling are used to provide a uniform model of natural and artificial intelligence.
The study shows opportunities for education for transforming basic human needs, especially the need for transcendence, in a world where social structure is changing. Recommendations have been developed on how to prepare for the changes that await humanity in a jobless world. AI friendliness to humanity is ensured by the cognition of the world as an AI target. AI should be built by making artificial and natural intelligence closer.
This approach makes it possible to perform the following: improve human collaboration with AI; help finding of mistakes and biases in AI functionality. The transformation of the education system must begin immediately in order to prepare for life in a world governed by AI.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, culture, digitalisation, information technology, neuronal networks, pedagogy, values.
