Responsible Use of ChatGPT in Education

The fast advancement of information and communication technologies highlights the urgent need to train people in digital skills. Although this need has been recognised at national and European level, there is still no legislative framework of reference. Although the use of chatbots, such as ChatGPT, has increased, there are warnings about possible problems, such as a lack of critical thinking, reliability and reflection on digital security.

This lecture addresses the importance of teachers acting as facilitators, promoting access to information, and encouraging critical thinking in students. In summary, AI, such as ChatGPT, can be useful in academia, but its proper use requires training programs to educate students in its ethical, critical and effective use.
