Abstract:

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly developed into one of the most influential of the newly emerging technologies within the educational sector. AI-powered systems such as ChatGPT, educational chatbots, intelligent tutors, and automated feedback systems are drastically changing the face of Technology-Enhanced Learning. These various AI systems are accelerating the shift from the principles of Education 4.0 to Education 5.0, focusing on the individual learner. This new form of Education offers new opportunities for students to learn better and critical thinking and creativity, the so-called 4C skills.

Recent research into the effects of artificial intelligence in educational contexts indicates the existence of a variety of impacts because of AI. Many of the reported impacts are positive; students are more engaged, personalized learning is possible, and feedback is improved. However, there are also risks to using AI, such as plagiarism, lack of deep learning, learning misinformation from chatbots, the digital divide, and technological illiteracy. The field of research into the use of AI in education is rapidly expanding. However, there does not yet appear to be a consolidated view of the way in which AI is transforming the development of 4C skills or the shift to Education 5.0.

This research paper investigates these issues through critical review and synthesis of the existing research regarding the impact of AI, chatbots, and generative AI in education. The main purpose of this research is to provide an understanding of the implications of generative AI on education and the challenges in this research field. Hence, the contribution of this research is to provide a clear understanding of the impact of generative AI on education on a broad scale.
