«The impact of social media and artificial intelligence»

On December 5, 2024, under the leadership of Associate Professor of the Department of International Relations A. R. Alipbayev, a round table was organized on the topic "The impact of social networks and artificial intelligence" related to the issue of "Educating a conscious generation by providing quality education", designated within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 4th year students of the specialty "International Relations" (HC-33K group) took an active part in the organization of the round table. In modern society, digital devices, social media platforms and artificial intelligence tools have become an integral part of our daily lives. These technologies have undoubtedly brought convenience, harmony and speed, making our lives easier and more efficient. However, their impact on our brain function and cognitive abilities cannot be ignored.


Therefore, the main purpose of the exchange of views between students was also to identify the positive and negative sides that these technologies can have on attention, memory, addiction, decision-making and critical thinking, as well as on learning ability. The moderator of the round table, Gulvira Uzakbayeva, a 4th-year student, divided the group into supporters and opponents within the framework of the topic "The impact of social networks and artificial intelligence" and very rationally organized a mutual discussion.
Summing up the exchange of views, students of the group Maratkyzy Samal, Robertkyzy Diana and Bekbulatova Medina expressed their thoughts on the positive role of artificial intelligence in modern healthcare, science and civilization, as well as in politics and public life, recalling that in modern society it is necessary to pay special attention to the truthfulness of news and messages on the web. At the same time, they noted that one should not lose sight of the possibility that excessive use of smartphones will negatively affect human health.
