ChatGPT in education

Abstract

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the educational field, particularly with the introduction of language models like ChatGPT. Given the growing interest in this technology, it is crucial to examine its implications from various educational perspectives. The objective of this article is to raise awareness about its use and analyze empirical evidence from other studies regarding ChatGPT's ability to address educational tasks while maintaining academic integrity. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 57 documents from databases such as ESBCO, ERIC, INTECHOPEN, Elibro, and SCIELO (2022–2023). The results suggest that ChatGPT can be beneficial in areas such as teacher training, online tutoring, curriculum design, and assistance with academic tasks, provided it is used ethically and with integrity. In conclusion, although ChatGPT is a valuable tool for educational support, its responsible and supervised use is essential to prevent malpractice such as plagiarism. This bibliographic review contributes to understanding the role of ChatGPT in education, highlighting both its benefits and its ethical and practical challenges, and providing a foundation for future research and decisions regarding the use of AI in the educational field.
