Issues with Using Artificial Intelligence in an Educational Environment: Implications for the Training of DevOps Professionals

Abstract

This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence on the learning process in the field of DevOps, in particular, regarding its role in developing critical thinking, independent analysis and the ability to solve complex technical problems. The findings suggest that AI can improve the learning efficiency for students with medium and low levels of preparation, while reducing the motivation for independent thinking among high-achieving students. The use of AI in DevOps education accelerates task completion, but may lead to a reliance on automated solutions, which negatively affects the assimilation of complex concepts and long-term cognitive development.
