Chat-GPT: An AI Based Educational Revolution

TL;DR

ChatGPT addresses the question of how AI can reshape higher education by critically analyzing advantages and disadvantages, pedagogical implications, and future scenarios. The paper argues for a teaching revolution with modular, AI-integrated curricula and redesigned assessments, and envisions dynamic, AI-enabled degrees and global access. Its contributions include a framework for evaluating AI-enabled education and practical considerations for integrating AI into pedagogy and evaluation. The work highlights both transformative potential and risks to social learning, attention, and institutional relevance, informing educators, policymakers, and developers about feasible, impactful paths forward.

Abstract

The AI revolution is gathering momentum at an unprecedented rate. Over the past decade, we have witnessed a seemingly inevitable integration of AI in every facet of our lives. Much has been written about the potential revolutionary impact of AI in education. AI has the potential to completely revolutionise the educational landscape as we could see entire courses and degrees developed by programs such as ChatGPT. AI has the potential to develop courses, set assignments, grade and provide feedback to students much faster than a team of teachers. In addition, because of its dynamic nature, it has the potential to continuously improve its content. In certain fields such as computer science, where technology is continuously evolving, AI based applications can provide dynamically changing, relevant material to students. AI has the potential to replace entire degrees and may challenge the concept of higher education institutions. We could also see entire new disciplines emerge as a consequence of AI. This paper examines the practical impact of ChatGPT and why it is believed that its implementation is a critical step towards a new era of education. We investigate the impact that ChatGPT will have on learning, problem solving skills and cognitive ability of students. We examine the positives, negatives and many other aspects of AI and its applications throughout this paper.
