An analytical study of the impact of the language AI model ChatGPT on the education: opportunities and challenges

Abstract

Education is considered one of the fields that is expected to be affected by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the future. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the impact of the language AI model ChatGPT on the education. It explores its advantages and disadvantages and provides a critical analysis of its performance. The paper also discusses relevant opportunities and challenges. The paper uses a review methodology to examine the latest literature on this topic. The results indicate that the ChatGPT model has the potential to enhance the education for both teachers and students, such as preparing lesson plans, tests, programming, correcting conceptual and programming errors, solving homework assignments, and developing the courses. However, it also poses many challenges, including lack of transparency, potential biases, cheating, and difficulty in evaluating the information generated by language models. Dealing with these issues requires careful consideration to achieve the desired benefits.
This paper primarily contributes to understanding the structure of language AI models like ChatGPT and their influential role in the education process. It also provides answers to future inquiries in this field, especially for the Arabic audience, which still lacks keeping up with such developments.
