The article examines the evolutionary relationship between the development of science, human intellect, and modern digital technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence as a key driver of transformation in research and higher education. Science is considered a social institution, a form of purposeful activity, and a structured system of knowledge that continuously evolves under the influence of technological progress. Special attention is given to the rapid integration of artificial intelligence tools into academic environments, which simultaneously enhances research efficiency and generates new ethical, legal, and methodological challenges. The study analyzes the main advantages of artificial intelligence, including the automation of large-scale data processing, support for analytical and predictive tasks, optimization of research experiments, and the personalization of educational processes. At the same time, the article emphasizes the risks associated with excessive reliance on AI technologies, including violations of academic integrity, reduced independence in critical thinking, ambiguity in authorship, reliability issues, and potential algorithmic bias in research outcomes. Key concepts, including artificial intelligence, neural networks, intelligent systems, and chatbots, are systematized in accordance with contemporary academic discourse and current regulatory frameworks. The paper argues that artificial intelligence represents a logical stage in the development of post-non-classical science, in which information flows and cognitive processes become central elements of knowledge production. The authors conclude that maintaining academic integrity in the digital era requires responsible, transparent, and critically reflective use of artificial intelligence technologies. The implementation of clear institutional policies, ethical guidelines, and regulatory mechanisms is essential to balance technological innovation with the preservation of originality, credibility, and trust in scientific research and higher education.
