Abstract

 The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is inevitable, as in all other segments of modern society. Since this is a process that cannot be ignored or avoided, the focus should be on ensuring its effective implementation. This approach maximizes its benefits while minimizing the associated risks. This paper explores the perspectives of students and teaching staff on the use of AI in social work education at HE institutions in the Republic of Serbia, in which these programs are accredited. The paper is structured into three sections. Following the introduction and theoretical analysis, the second section presents the findings of empirical research conducted using a specially designed survey questionnaire targeting the mentioned groups. In the final section, the authors provide conclusions and recommendations for enhancing the application of AI in (higher) education.
