The article contributes to the consideration of the role and place of artificial intelligence in the educational activities of university students. The article analyzes the motivation for using artificial intelligence by university students. The research methods used include systematization and theoretical analysis of pedagogical literature on the research topic, interview, modified method for identifying the motives for using AI in educational activities. The authors provide a review of the pedagogical literature on the use of AI in education. The theoretical provisions of the study are based on a comparative analysis of approaches to defining and role of AI in educational activities, as well as the identified motives for using AI by students, and are illustrated by pedagogical practice of using artificial intelligence in the educational activities of university students. The article provides a quantitative analysis of the diagnosis of students' motivational orientation towards the use of AI in educational activities.
