The Attitude of the Z-Generation Students to the Artificial Intelligence’s Assessment of Historic Events in Conditions of Digitalization of Society
The article examined the attitude of students of generation Z of Russian universities to the assessment of historic events by artificial intelligence in the context of the digitalization of society. The basic empirical research methods were a sociological survey and a focus group conducted remotely during the COVID 19 pandemic using the resources of the Google Form online service and the Zoom cloud conference platform. The study found that the attitude of generation Z to artificial intelligence in the context of the digitalization of society is ambiguous, contradictory, which affects the degree of the trust in the assessment of historic events. Z-generation students are less afraid of AI in everyday life than in communicating historic information and evaluating it. The characteristic was the stability of the position of students of generation Z to the assessment of historic events by artificial intelligence with a weak influence of external aggressive factors, including pandemic restrictions.
