An overview of the experience of using artificial intelligence for the analysis of qualitative data, and, in particu- lar, the development of sociological categories and concepts in qualitative research is presented coding the interview with a woman who experienced pregnancy during her student years. Based on the logic of coding for subsequent conceptualization of data, a systematization of tasks for artificial intelligence (a large language model) is proposed for using it as an assistant in data analysis and analytical triangulation.
