Abstract

The OpenAI-developed ChatGPT, which is based on artificial intelligence (AI), has gained widespread acceptance in a number of industries. Education is included. The use of this technology when creating content allows students to learn about concepts and theories. ChatGPT is built on State of the Art (SOA), which incorporates Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning (DL), and an extrapolation of a family of ML-NLP models known as Large Language Models (LLMs), which mixes NLP and ML. It can be used to automate the grading of tests and assignments, freeing up instructors’ time to focus on training. This technology can be used to tailor education for children, allowing them to concentrate more attentively on the material and engage in critical thinking. Because ChatGPT can translate text between different languages, it’s a great tool for language learning. It might offer lists of vocabulary words and their definitions, giving pupils tools to improve their language skills. One of ChatGPT’s key applications in the class-room is individualized learning. Using ChatGPT in the classroom has the potential to be very beneficial for both teachers and students.
