Developing Students' Skills in Working with Generative Artificial Intelligence as Part of Training Specialists for the Digital Economy

This article examines the pressing issue of integrating generative artificial intelligence (GAI) into higher education. The author analyzes the transformation of professional competencies in the digital economy and substantiates the need to shift from a policy of «prohibiting» GAI to a policy of «conscious use.» The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted among students majoring in engineering and humanities, identifying key barriers (technological, ethical, and cognitive), and proposes a three-tiered model for developing industrial engineering skills and critically evaluating results.
