This article examines the role of artificial intelligence tools in developing professional English skills of cyber security students. In modern higher education, cyber security students need not only technical knowledge but also the ability to communicate professional ideas clearly in English. They should be able to explain cyber threats, write reports, describe security incidents, discuss risks, and present solutions in an international context. Artificial intelligence tools such as chatbots, grammar checkers, translation platforms, pronunciation applications, and AI writing assistants can support this process by providing personalized learning, instant feedback, vocabulary practice, and opportunities for independent study. The article explores how AI tools can improve students’ professional vocabulary, writing accuracy, speaking confidence, and communicative competence. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study discusses the pedagogical value of AI-based tools in English for Specific Purposes classes. The article concludes that artificial intelligence tools can be effective in teaching professional English to cyber security students if they are used responsibly, critically, and under teacher guidance.References
