At the end of the excursion into the history of book creation, Mykhailo Poplavskyi noted: "Evolution does not stand still. The world is moving forward. Education is becoming the key foundation of modern society.

Artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, bioengineering – this is the new reality in which each of us must find our place.

A great informational-intellectual revolution is underway in the world, where those who can think, analyze, and quickly adapt to new challenges will win. Our weapons are intellect, education, creative thinking, and innovation!

I have great respect for President Volodymyr Zelensky's team for implementing and developing digitalization in the country, particularly to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov regarding the digitization of national education.

It is gratifying that education in Ukraine is adapting to global trends and the challenges of time.

The University of Culture confidently keeps pace with the times: an electronic library of books, video materials, and lectures, the introduction of artificial intelligence – all this opens new horizons for learning. We are actively working on the digital transformation of the educational process – the university's competitiveness depends on this. We are developing an educational application "University in a Smartphone," which will become a convenient tool for an effective educational process for students and teachers. We are 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 converge, creating a new reality for national education. We must show the whole world that Ukraine is a nation of strong, talented, and educated people."
