The Impact of ChatGPT on Education and Future Prospects
Xin Tan
Abstract
ChatGPT is a large language model based on the GPT series models developed by OpenAI, which has gained widespread attention in the education sector due to its ability to generate natural language, demonstrate powerful understanding capabilities, and support multi-turn dialogue. Analysis results suggest that the emergence of ChatGPT has fundamentally changed the way people connect with information. It has made information that was previously expensive and difficult to obtain more accessible and greatly reduced communication barriers between different fields. This marks an unprecedented information revolution that could potentially alter human lifestyles. ChatGPT is also expected to have a profound impact on education, serving as a double-edged sword that brings both innovation and risks to the education sector. This paper summarizes existing literature and materials to analyze the essence of ChatGPT, its impact on education, and prospects for its future application. This paper aims to provide valuable insights for educators and researchers interested in understanding the implications of ChatGPT and its potential role in advancing education.
