The paper overviews practices of using AI-powered services by schoolteachers and faculty in their professional activities. The objective of the research is to analyze modern practices of using AI tools by Russian and foreign teachers of secondary and higher education and to identify the potential for scaling advanced solutions for Russian education system. To achieve this, the authors conducted systematic analysis of corresponding research papers, content analysis of regulatory documents, as well as comparative analysis of practical cases on the research issue. The analysis results indicate a trend of transition from the use of mono-functional AI services for solving separate educational tasks to the development and implementation of complex AI systems. The response for AI educational systems is aimed at ensuring personalization of learning based on learning analytics and teaching support (production of educational content, automation of assignment checking and feedback). Against this background, different countries observe asymmetric development of digital educational environment. The authors conclude that the reasons for the different intensity of AI tools use across countries are low level of AI literacy of teachers and their insufficient methodological support. Differences between Russian and foreign practices of implementing AI tools consists in different thematic focuses: the foreign context emphasis compliance with ethical standards, while the Russian context considers improving usability of AI–powered services. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the systematization and assessment of the didactic potential of AI tools. The practical significance is based on the fact that the research results allow the teaching community to discover the advantages and reflect on the challenges and risks when working with AI tools in classrooms.
