The Editorial Board of the journal ‘Information Technologies and Learning Tools’ has decided to rename the section ‘Artificial Intelligence in Education and Research’ to ‘Artificial Intelligence: Development, Integration, Ethical and Regulatory Aspects’.

This update is due to the widespread use of AI in all areas of educational activity. Research related to the use of AI in education is now organically integrated into all existing sections of the journal – from pre-school to postgraduate education, as well as in the field of education management, data protection, and support for psychological and pedagogical research.

The new name of the section focuses not on the applied use, but on the complex problems of development, integration, ethics, security, regulation and system analysis of artificial intelligence in educational and scientific environments.

We invite authors to submit materials to this updated section on:

• creation and implementation of AI systems in education;
• interdisciplinary approaches to AI in educational research;
• legal, ethical and security challenges;
• strategies for integrating AI into the academic ecosystem.

We thank the authors and readers for their support on the way to updating and improving the scientific discourse.
