TALK TO ME: A DIALOGUE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ABOUT ITS USE IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

Abstract

The article explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational process, writing scientific articles, and the ethical issues that arise with its application. The research is based on an analysis of dialogue with the chatbot ChatGPT, examining the possibilities of using AI in learning and science. The results of the analysis, along with the study of relevant literature sources, lead to the conclusion that caution is needed when using language models based on AI. The article discusses issues of academic integrity when applying artificial intelligence for text generation. It is pointed out that these issues and ethical aspects are not yet regulated at the legislative and academic levels, as ChatGPT has only existed for a few months, and appropriate regulatory mechanisms are still being formed. In particular, it is highlighted that ChatGPT is proficient in text generation technology but sometimes makes mistakes and provides false information. This can create difficulties for users who rely on accuracy and reliability of the information received. The article's results aim to help readers better understand the potential of artificial intelligence in education and research, as well as the problems associated with its application. Possible ways to optimize the use of AI technologies in the academic environment are identified, and the importance of developing critical thinking and information evaluation skills is emphasized. The focus is on the need to raise students', teachers', and researchers' awareness of the potential challenges and limitations AI may have in research activities. Furthermore, the article discusses the role of universities and scientific communities in developing strategies that promote the ethical use of AI in education and research. It is emphasized that it is important to consider both the positive aspects of AI and the potential risks to academic integrity and research quality. One solution could be the implementation of special courses on AI ethics, which would help students and researchers better understand various aspects of AI technologies, including their practical and ethical sides. Active collaboration between academic institutions and AI development companies is also recommended, with the aim of developing safer and more responsible language models. Considering the rapid development of AI, the authors call for accelerating the creation of national and international legal frameworks that would regulate the use of artificial intelligence in education and research. The article underlines the need for a broad discussion among representatives of the scientific community, legislators, and the public on the ethical issues and possible consequences of using AI in the academic world. Key words: artificial intelligence, large language models, ChatGPT, education, science.
