In this regard, in society, in popular science literature, in the media, the question is increasingly being asked, can a robot, in particular with artificial intelligence, replace a person in performing professional activities? Variety of problem of the impact of the introduction of robots and artificial intelligence on the future lives and activities of mankind is highlighted in research, discussions, statements, public speeches by E. Musk, B. Pring, P. Roehrig, M. Frank, S. Hawking, M. Zuckerberg, etc. «Success in creating artificial intelligence could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization, or the worst. Computers can, in theory, emulate human intelligence, and exceed it. », - S. Hawking said. The purpose of the article: to carry out the psychological futurological forecast for the introduction of robots, artificial intelligence, in particular in the higher education system through the prism of the author's many years of psychological and pedagogical experience. The current trends in the achievements of scientific and technological progress are analyzed: every day all over the world there are news about examples of successful professional interaction between people and robots (robots Sofia, Grace, Aypera, student robot and much more). Conclusions: the probable possibility of professional competition between humans and robots is obviously a positive argument for obtaining higher education, as well as the ability to constantly learn independently, based on the knowledge, skills and abilities already acquired. The robotization of the educational system should lead to significant facilitation and simplification of the teacher's activities in the future, since all routine work can be put on robots, in turn, teachers will be able to fully devote themselves to pedagogical creativity.

In this regard, new competencies of specialists are in demand. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of the fourth industrial revolution on the education system and the development of skills and thinking for learning. Methods: When conducting scientific research, economic and statistical methods were used. These methods were also used in comparative analysis, as well as in assessing data and indicators of the higher education system, taking into account the impact of the fourth industrial revolution. The analytical method was used to consider the characteristics and factors influencing the development of skills and thinking for learning in modern conditions. The abstract-logical method is used to identify problems affecting the development of the labor market under the influence of digital technologies. Results and their value: The result of the study is that conclusions are drawn about the upcoming changes.

Agent-based modelling provides a mechanism by which complex social phenomena can simulated in order to identify how particular features arise from causes such as demographics, human preferences and their interaction with policy settings. The NetLogo environment has been used to implement a simulation of the New Zealand higher education system, using historical data to calibrate model settings to mirror those of the real-world system. This simulation is used to explore how the introduction of an alternative qualification and education paradigm might disrupt established patterns of education and employment.
