The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of human life has significantly influenced educational practices and psychological processes. The International Seminar Cyberpsychology and Post-AI Education (PsyAI-2025) aims to explore the interplay between psychological factors and educational systems in the era of AI-driven technologies as well as the features of human-virtual environments interactions. In this case, a virtual environment is considered as an artificially created context in which a person interacts with various digital and technological systems, such as virtual reality, social networks, smart homes, mobile applications, industrial systems, and algorithms. These environments encompass a wide range of technologies and processes that influence everyday life and society's interaction with information and technology.
