Abstract

The integration of AI language models, particularly ChatGPT, into higher education has sparked concerns about academic integrity and its impact on student learning experiences. This research aims to explore the applications, benefits, challenges, and future implications of ChatGPT in education, striving to achieve a balanced and beneficial integration of AI in higher education. The study reviews related works on ChatGPT, investigating its development, capabilities, and potential applications in education. Firstly, the paper emphasizes that ChatGPT changes teaching methods, enabling teachers to adopt more flexible and interactive approaches to education. Secondly, the paper highlights that ChatGPT can provide personalized learning experiences for students by generating customized teaching content based on their needs and offering real-time assistance and guidance, thereby enhancing learning effectiveness. However, the paper also acknowledges some potential challenges and issues, including concerns regarding plagiarism and privacy, as well as the possibility of biases and the generation of erroneous information. Addressing these issues requires technological improvements and the development of sound usage policies. The paper concludes by summarizing the findings and prospects of the research.
