PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

This article provides a comprehensive and in-depth scientific analysis of the prospects for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into preschool education. Based on Uzbekistan’s "Ilk Qadam" (First Step) state curriculum, educational policy documents, local empirical research, international meta-analyses, and longitudinal observations, the article details the impact of AI on children's cognitive, intellectual, emotional, social, and creative development. The results indicate that AI technologies—through interactive programs, adaptive learning applications, child activity monitoring systems, and emotional recognition systems—enhance the effectiveness of the educational process, ensure an approach tailored to children's individual needs, and reduce the workload of educators. However, integration requires prioritizing pedagogical goals, ensuring child safety, and addressing ethical considerations. The article provides evidence-based recommendations for preschool practitioners, administrators, and policymakers.

本文对人工智能（Artificial Intelligence）技术融入学前教育的发展前景开展了全面且深入的科学分析。基于乌兹别克斯坦‘Ilk Qadam’（‘第一步’）国家课程、教育政策文件、本土实证研究、国际元分析及纵向追踪观测数据，本文详细阐述了AI对儿童认知、智力、情感、社交及创造力发展的影响。研究结果表明，AI技术通过交互式程序、自适应学习应用、儿童活动监测系统与情感识别系统，可提升教育教学过程的有效性，确保采用贴合儿童个性化需求的教育模式，并减轻教育工作者的工作负担。不过，AI技术的融合应用需优先聚焦教育目标、保障儿童安全，并妥善应对伦理层面的相关问题。本文为学前教育从业者、管理人员及政策制定者提供了基于实证的专业建议。
