ABSTRACT

In 2022, generative artificial intelligence (i.e., generative AI) was included and highlighted in the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Artificial Intelligence (AI) section. The journal indicated that the generative AI would be a significant trend in AI field in the future. Among them, ChatGPT, the representative of generative AI, can generate various modes of content, which has attracted wide discussion. From the earliest GPT-1 proposed by OpenAI to the latest GPT-4, ChatGPT has played diverse roles in life scenarios, especially in the field of education, where its innovative value has received widespread attention. The interactivity and extensibility of ChatGPT enable it to create educational aids, build independent learning platforms, and simulate learning scenarios. ChatGPT has offered promising prospect and new ideas for education innovation and development. However, since the algorithm kernel of ChatGPT is still Large Language Model (LLM) that relies on volume and differences of training data and material, using ChatGPT is likely to bring disadvantages such as academic abuse, knowledge plagiarism and intelligence discrimination. Therefore, this work will focus on the followings to illustrate innovative applications of ChatGPT technology in education and discuss how to better embrace the opportunities ChatGPT brings. The main work of this paper is as follows: (1) Using international Chinese education to illustrate the innovative application of ChatGPT large model; (2) To demonstrate how ChatGPT empowers higher education; (3) To synthesize the education innovation driven by ChatGPT, and also to present thoughts on the challenges triggered by current ChatGPT application.
