Abstract

Education and science play a key role in the vision and development of a fair, peaceful and sustainable society (global, continental, regional and national). Education is one of the crucial preconditions for the implementation of the UN global strategy “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” (“Agenda 2030”). Agenda 2030 sets practical challenges for governments to transform the education system (Education for Sustainable Development). Developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and intelligent systems are developing rapidly right now, purely now bring benefits (and, at the same time – probable danger and harm), directly now – significantly determine our existence – and will soon determine even more. When universities argue that 4IR should be given strong and close attention, it means that they can no longer rely only on traditional forms of human thinking and imagination, but also need thinking that depends on algorithmic computations of machines or forms of technology. In this sense, 4IR has changed not only what we do and how we do it, but also who we have become. The mission of the universities of the XXI century is to form a developed personality, a person of high cultural level, who can act in a situation characterized by significant environmental risks. Educational institutions must be transformed and improved as institutions that must create and strengthen a safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environment for all members of society. Which, in the end, will help to achieve success in cooperation at all levels – both in education and science, and in society in general.

Highlights

  • Given that the phenomena of integration and internationalization in the context of globalization are growing rapidly, and their properties are determined by the laws dictated by the prevailing trend of global development, these phenomena are especially important for small countries and those embarking on intensive development or looking for models of economic, social, scientific and educational intensification and institutional transformations for sustainable development of society in the context of internationalization of higher education and science

  • Analyzing of the global and large-scale trends is essential for decision making that will ensure the construction of a sustainable environment and future-ready ecological education

  • The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a very interesting phenomenon - the so-called deep fiction, or in English deepfake. This word comes from a combination of "deep learning", the method used in the formation of artificial intelligence, and "fiction" itself

Summary

Introduction

Universities in particular and educational institutions in general should learn to work together in partnership, develop sustainable development skills, critical thinking, share responsibilities between students and the entire educational team, and in such way educational institutions can be examples of sustainable lifestyles [1]. The process of democratization of institutions of society, education and science can effectively change decision-making in the field of socio-economic activities, education and science, which consists of two relatively independent factors:. – on the other hand – from the structures and bodies of social and administrative management, which carries out the will of the state and society, but capable of transferring part of power in self-government relations. Given that the phenomena of integration and internationalization in the context of globalization are growing rapidly, and their properties are determined by the laws dictated by the prevailing trend of global development, these phenomena are especially important for small countries and those embarking on intensive development or looking for models of economic, social, scientific and educational intensification and institutional transformations for sustainable development of society in the context of internationalization of higher education and science. Analysis of large-scale trends is necessary for decision-making that will ensure the construction of a sustainable and ready for the future educational environment
