Introduction: The research investigated the effects of ChatGPT, an AI-driven language model, on students and academic institutions. The analysis incorporated viewpoints from academics, research scholars, and graduate or postgraduate students. The increasing use of AI in education requires a comprehensive understanding of its potential benefits and drawbacks, especially within higher education and research.
Methods: A thematic content analysis was used to investigate the viewpoints of 46 graduate and postgraduate students, 8 research scholars, and 4 educators. The investigation sought to find repeating themes and principal concepts concerning the influence of AI in educational environments.
Results: The research examined remarks regarding the function of ChatGPT for students, researchers, and educators, pinpointing eight major themes. The most prevalent were Content Writing (45 mentions), Creation of Thought (35 references), and Collection of Information (33 mentions), underscoring ChatGPT’s influence on content development, ideation, and data organization. Additional themes encompassed Language Utilization, Innovation Generation, Model Development, Idea Formation, and Supportive Tools. The results demonstrated that ChatGPT is perceived as revolutionary for writing, cognitive processes, and information acquisition.
Conclusions: The research determined that ChatGPT has considerable ramifications for students and universities, as revealed by thematic content analysis. It emphasized eight primary themes: content, creativity, language, tools, models, information, generations, and ideas. It highlighted AI as an augmentation of the human intellect while acknowledging the significance of human traits. The results highlighted the necessity for additional research into privacy issues, ethical considerations, and optimal procedures for incorporating AI in education. The report emphasized the necessity of recognizing both the benefits and drawbacks of AI in current research and higher education.
