Exploring the Ethical Considerations of Using Chat GPT in University Education
The study was conducted in Latin American educational institutions. They interviewed 220 people
and it turned out that the participants believe that Chat GPT has many useful advantages, but
there are still dangers and doubts about confidentiality and data security. The study also showed
that it is necessary to provide high-quality and responsible implementation of AI in education. The
study found that participants generally had moderately positive attitudes toward Chat GPT
integration, perceiving it as moderately accessible. They recognized the value of Chat GPT in
creating personalized educational opportunities but emphasized the importance of explicit
institutional standards regarding privacy and data security. Using AI in education also has other
problems. The biggest one is that AI might make existing biases and discrimination in schools even
worse. There's also a chance that people could use AI in the wrong way to produce incorrect
results. The literature suggests involving various stakeholders, including students, in decisionmaking processes related to AI in education. Personalized learning, adapted to each student's
background, interests, and skill level, is crucial. However, challenges arise due to ChatGPT's
transparency regarding data sources, and there is a need to improve plagiarism controls to
effectively authenticate student work.
Results of the survey showed that participants:
• were uncertain about Chat GPT's ease of access and its impact on educational materials.
The societal attitude towards Chat GPT was neutral, but people believe that chatbots
lack creativity and the ability to generate new ideas, and AI texts are not very useful and
meaningful without human interpretation, evaluation and judgment.
• reported positive experiences and impressions about using chatbots.
• liked how Chat GPT helps with personalized learning. They saw value in Chat GPT
because it makes learning adaptable and provides quick feedback, which is good for
individualized learning.
Results of the regression analysis showed:
• that such a factor as age influences people's opinions. As the age of the participants
increased, their dependence on the use of AI chat bots decreased.
• individuals who had a more positive outlook on Chat GPT integration were less likely to
depend on AI.
• that participants who understood the possible advantages and ethical considerations
related to personalized learning through Chat GPT were less likely to show strong
dependence on AI.
Therefore, based on data from a survey of people, we can draw such conclusions, or rather
determine the main advantages and disadvantages of introducing AI for learning.There are such
benefits as personalized learning, improved accessibility to educational materials. Also,
participants who understood the ethical aspects of learning with AI were less dependent on AI.
Negative aspects of using Artificial Intelligence such as ethical concerns(privacy, data security and
its impact on critical thinking and independent research) and potential manipulation.
