Abstract

The article considers the possible concepts of the university of the near future considering the real emergence of special artificial intelligence applicable in the field of higher education. The authors propose a new university model (5th generation university) based on rethinking the use of the concept of competence and applied results in the field of cognitive sciences. It is proposed to revise the existing classical set of professional and social competencies, which will consider the redistribution of responsibilities in society between a person and intellectual systems. The technical readiness of society is assessed to significantly expand the scope of the use of IT technologies and free up human resources for creative activity.
