Today smart technologies have become an integral part of not only science and art, but also everyday life in general. Their implementation not only expands opportunities for research and creativity, but also changes the very approach to these fields, creating a new era where technological innovations combine with traditional practices. Science and art, despite their significant differences, are united in a common desire to use the technological potential to find new solutions and forms of expression, which were made possible by smart technologies.

One of the most influential achievements of humanity today is artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms and neural networks have already become the basis of many industries: from financial analysis and medical research to education, self-development, and fine arts. AI almost completely automates the processing and analysis of large amounts of data, allowing to create complex models, quickly edit texts and influence content in various media. This significantly increases the efficiency of work in many areas and opens up new opportunities for personalizing services and experiences.

In art, AI finds a special application, demonstrating new horizons of creativity. It can now be used to create paintings, generate music, write poetry, and even model short videos based on human preferences. Contemporary artists use artificial intelligence as a tool to realize ideas faster, explore new styles and carry out meaningful experiments. However, this raises questions about the authenticity of such art: to what extent is AI able to express real emotions that are the basis of human creativity?

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are also finding their application in science, education, entertainment and art. These technologies allow you to fully immerse yourself in the created world, which opens up many possibilities. VR and AR are useful for learning because they can be used to simulate various situations, which minimizes the risks and costs. Such technologies can completely change the approach to the learning process, allowing for interactive explanations of complex concepts. In the field of art, VR and AR create interactive installations that allow viewers to literally “enter” a work of art and experience it on a new level. 3D printing is another innovative solution that is changing our lives. With the help of 3D printers, it is now possible to create almost any object: from small parts to entire building elements. This has a major impact on medicine, as it makes it possible to print customized implants, prostheses and even organs for transplantation. In construction 3D printing makes it possible to build buildings quickly and relatively cheaply. In the arts 3D printers are used to create sculptures, installations and interior decoration, giving artists and designers new opportunities for self-expression. As smart technologies develop, so does the need for an ethical approach to their use. It is important that the latest developments do not replace but complement human creativity and individuality, becoming a tool for self-expression and inspiration, not just a means of automation. At the same time, society must ensure the responsible use of AI, especially in the context of its impact on personal life, culture and ethics. Thus, smart technologies do not just change our everyday life, they transform the way we think and create conditions for new discoveries and forms of creativity. They are becoming a bridge between the past and the future, allowing us to preserve our cultural heritage and stimulate further development of society. Smart technologies are resources that open up new horizons, create opportunities for personal and professional development, ensure the integration of science and art, and contribute to social progress and cultural enrichment of humanity.
