Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), once a subject of science fiction, is now a tangible, disruptive force in teaching and learning. In an educational setting, generative large language models (LLM), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, perform and supplement tasks that usually require human thought, such as data analysis, understanding complex ideas, problem-solving, coding and producing written outputs. AI advances are moving quickly. From the emergence of ChatGPT 3.5 in November 2022, we have witnessed the arrival of other progressive language models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google’s Bard AI and Microsoft’s Bing AI. Most recently, AIs gained the ability to access real-time information, analyse images and are becoming directly embedded in many applications.
