The 12th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Data Mining (FSDM 2026)

Abstract: The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), extended reality (XR), and quantum computing (QC) creates new opportunities for adaptive and immersive learning, but technological combination alone does not guarantee pedagogical or computational value. The aim of the invited speech is to propose the Quantum-Generative Immersive Education (QGIE) conceptual architecture, based on the principle of functionally justified technological integration. The architecture organizes learning as a closed adaptive loop linking learner interaction, a dynamic learner model, pedagogical decision-making, computational requirement extraction, technology-resource selection, GenAI adaptation, and XR realization. A Quantum Justification Framework (QJF) is proposed, introducing a mandatory classical baseline, feasibility and quantum relevance screening, multicriteria comparison, and a Quantum Justification Index (QJI). The principal contribution is the shift from technology-driven integration toward a pedagogy-first, function-first, and technology-selective architecture in which a quantum resource is activated only when it provides sufficiently justified functional value relative to the applicable classical alternative.
