The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated and versatile language models. AI models are capable of generating new data based on patterns and structures learned from existing data, and they can create multimedia content. These generative AI models rely on unsupervised machine learning techniques and neural networks to analyze, understand, and generate content that closely resembles human-generated output. Among these, ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, has emerged as a powerful tool with diverse applications across various fields. In recent years, the scientific and academic communities have devoted significant attention to researching and developing the ChatGPT chatbot. As of November 2024, over 212,000 articles have been published on ChatGPT across national and international journals and conferences, according to Google Scholar. The growing development of the ChatGPT chatbot is poised to significantly reshape the education sector and raises concerns within the academic community regarding how future generations should be taught. For instance, this technology can be used to efficiently write articles or essays in seconds, potentially reducing the need for human involvement. This paper provides a literature review on the potential applications of the ChatGPT chatbot in education, as well as the key challenges and risks associated with its use. The integration of chatbots like ChatGPT and other AI models in education offers numerous opportunities to enhance the learning experience for students and support teachers. However, to fully harness their educational potential, it is crucial to approach the use of these models with caution, critically assessing their limitations and potential biases.
