Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in Education

AI chatbots can be an efficient tool to use for educational purposes. They may assist students in answering questions, clarifying doubts, revising topics, receiving feedback, etc. In addition, they can help teachers with performing some routine tasks such as creating questions and materials for learning. All mentioned points indicate that chatbots can be very useful in the learning process. Nevertheless, there are also certain advantages and disadvantages of using chatbots in education. There are various issues connected with the usage of artificial intelligence in education: misleading information, over-dependence on the technology, privacy and security of data, violation of academic integrity, and inequality in the availability of appropriate technologies among students. In addition, over-dependence on chatbots can harm the process of developing independent thinking skills and problem-solving skills in students. Therefore, the implementation of AI chatbots should be used reasonably in education. Overall, the use of AI chatbots in education may be useful for students and teachers as they have many beneficial features and can support the existing educational process. However, these technologies are not a replacement for teachers. The effective use of chatbots requires adequate guidance from educators, human supervision, responsible use of the tools, and correct integration into the educational process. With the development of technology, further research is needed in order to find out how to use these tools efficiently while avoiding their limitations. AI chatbots can also be useful for revision and practicing according to students' own schedule and pace. At the same time, it is important to remember about the necessity of using this tool under the guidance of a teacher who can check answers or give more information.
