ChatGPT's Technology Application in the Higher Education Sector, Risk Analysis and Pathway Changes

Abstract

After the emergence of ChatGPT, the role and development of artificial intelligence in the field of education has become a hot topic of discussion worldwide. Analyzing the core technical features and advantages of ChatGPT, we review and summarize the academic teaching and learning services supported by AI in four aspects: teaching content optimization, teaching process tutorial assistance, teaching method optimization, and academic paper writing, using the learning lifecycle as a framework, and look forward to 12 application scenarios combining ChatGPT's innovative technology with the higher education field. It is pointed out that the application of ChatGPT is subject to risk challenges in terms of academic integrity, privacy and information security, ethical model flaws and common sense bias, and teachers, students, higher education institutions and government departments should pay close attention to the development trend in this field, explore path changes and accelerate the deep integration of smart technologies with higher education in order to promote digital transformation and high-quality development of higher education.
