Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered one of the most exciting modern technological achievements and is an inevitable subject of study and debate in the scientific community and beyond. AI is already being applied for various purposes, and new possibilities are constantly being found. The field of AI continues to develop rapidly, although all the benefits and risks of the application of AI for society and the environment have not yet been fully understood.
One of the important issues is how to ensure the ethical development and application of AI, on which the first general guidelines were adopted at the level of the United Nations and the European Union, and an increasing number of companies are adopting their own ethics guidelines on AI. Ethical development and application of AI is extremely important for the activity of education due to its far-reaching impact on all participants, the educational process itself as well as the final outcomes.
The paper presents the results of a quantitative research conducted on a sample of 280 young respondents from Croatia aged up to 35. The goal of the research was to gain insight into young people's views on the application of AI in education. The results indicate that young people support the setting of clear rules and sanctions for non-compliance with the application of AI in education and believe that digital media literacy skills should be represented at all levels of education. Limitations and guidelines for future research are listed in the paper.
