ChatGPT in education: Its value, accuracy, and regulation

Abstract

ChatGPT is an AI-based assistant that has revolutionized the education sector. It is a natural language processing technology that uses machine learning algorithms to generate human-like responses to various queries and conversations in real time. The program was launched in 2022 and has proven its value in education. However, the grey area in generative transformer tools such as ChatGPT is enormous, including utilization value, data accuracy, and protection, and government regulations. The primary purpose of this research is to synthesize various published studies since the inception of ChatGPT. This research utilized a traditional narrative synthesis review to capture the value and regulation of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence concerning education. The results showed that teachers and students benefited from the program, such as personalized learning experiences, teacher-student interactions, increased engagement, and teachers’ lesson and assessment planning. However, the level of accuracy of information ChatGPT provides still needs to be 100% accurate since various studies have mixed results on the accuracy of the information given by ChatGPT. The user should be able to delineate which data is incorrect. Furthermore, countries worldwide have passed laws and regulations to ensure that AI tools such as ChatGPT would not harm users. Overall, Chat-GPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach education. As this technology becomes more global, it will be essential to continue testing and refining ChatGPT to improve the user experience and maintain ethical considerations.
