Abstract. The growing introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has revolutionized language learning, academic writing, translation, and personalized training. AI tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillionz, and DeepL offer students enhanced learning opportunities, enabling more efficient writing and translation processes, automated feedback, and real-time language support. There has been studied the role of AI in teaching students to translate and interpret legal texts on the basis of the works of the students at the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport (MIIT). Using surveys and document analysis, the current study has highlighted the benefits of AI, including increased efficiency and accuracy in translation practice, but also identified challenges such as overreliance, lack of critical thinking, and ethical implications. The study results have emphasized that while AI can significantly support language learning, it should complement, not replace, human training. There has been proposed a number of measures to reduce reliance on AI in the teaching process.

Keywords: artificial intelligence in higher education; translation practice; English language learning; personalized training; digital tools; academic integrity.
