At the end of the excursion into the history of book creation, Mykhailo Poplavsky noted:  "Evolution does not stand still. The world is moving forward. Education is becoming a key foundation of modern society.  Artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, bioengineering - all this is a new reality in which each of us must find our place.  

The world is undergoing a major information and intellectual revolution, where those who are able to think, analyze and quickly adapt to new challenges will win. Our weapons are intelligence, education, creative thinking and innovation!

I have great respect for the team of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the introduction and development of digitalization in the country, in particular for the VicePrime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov on the digitalization of national education. It's nice that education in Ukraine is adapting  to global  trends and challenges.  

The University of Culture is confidently keeping pace with the times: an electronic library of books, videos, and lectures, the introduction of artificial intelligence - all this opens up new horizons for learning. We are actively working on the digital transformation of the educational process, as the university's competitiveness depends on it.  We are developing  an educational application "University in a smartphone" that will become a convenient tool for the effective educational process of students and teachers. Implementing artificial intelligence at the university.

The next books I am working on are "Artificial Intelligence: The University of the Future" and ‘At the Turn of the Millennium’. This is a look into the future, where technology and knowledge combine to create a new reality of national education. We must show the world that Ukraine is a nation of strong, talented and educated people."
