Abstract

This study investigates the adoption of ChatGPT in higher education, focusing on student usage patterns, perceived benefits, and ethical concerns. With the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in academia, understanding their role in enhancing or potentially hindering learning is critical. The primary issue addressed is the ethical dilemma posed by AI tools, including risks of academic dishonesty and over-reliance on automated systems. A mixed-methods approach comprised a survey of over 100 university students and follow-up interviews with selected participants. The results indicate that ChatGPT is widely used for research assistance, writing assignments, and exam preparation, with students reporting high satisfaction levels. However, concerns regarding plagiarism and data privacy remain prevalent. The study concludes that while ChatGPT offers significant educational benefits, clear guidelines and responsible usage policies are essential to mitigate associated risks. Future research should explore long-term impacts and develop best practices for ethical AI integration in education.
