The article explores the prospects of applying Artificial Intelligence technologies to foster the development of language competence among philology students within the framework of the ongoing digitalization of education. It outlines the conceptual and theoretical principles underlying the incorporation of AI-based tools into philological education, taking into account a competence-oriented learning paradigm as well as the increasing significance of academic writing and digital literacy. The research seeks to assess the applied potential of AI in improving students’ lexical, grammatical, stylistic, communicative, and analytical abilities and to define pedagogically justified strategies for its effective integration into the educational process. The empirical basis consists of an online survey of philology students from Ukrainian higher education institutions (n = 36) conducted via Google Forms. The methodological framework combines principles of pedagogical linguistics and digital didactics, using theoretical analysis, qualitative interpretation of survey data, observation, and pedagogical modeling. The findings indicate that AI tools are widely used in educational practice, with ChatGPT being the most popular service for idea generation, text editing, and writing. At the same time, students demonstrate awareness of potential risks, including language standardization, reduced autonomy, and academic integrity concerns. The study concludes that AI functions as a practical auxiliary resource but cannot replace the professional role of the teacher.
