Abstract
The recent launch of ChatGPT has generated significant public interest and excitement. However, within the field of education, initial curiosity has given way to concern and worry about the potential impact of this tool. ChatGPT can revolutionize how students access and choose information, influence their learning and knowledge acquisition, and alter the way content is created, potentially threatening traditional assessment methods. This article outlines the basics of this technology and offers a thoughtful analysis of the potential benefits and risks of its use in higher education.
