AI AS A TOOL FOR SHAPING A STUDENT'S LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY: OPPORTUNITIES AND LIMITATIONS.

The article highlights the positive and negative sides of the introduction of AI in the formation of a student's linguistic personality. The modern problems posed by the research emphasize the strengths of AI-tools such as adaptability, accessibility, imitation of speech interaction, as well as the development of a number of cognitive and pragmatic skills. Along with this, there are negative risks associated with superficial language acquisition, sociocultural imbalance, long-term addiction, and lack of emotional contextuality. The author provides a justification for the pedagogical adequate approach to the use of AI tools in language education with the advanced task of serving as auxiliary rather than substitute.
