Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has brought about significant improvements in the efficiency of the educational process, global learning promotion, personalized learning experiences, intelligent content creation, and the optimization of educational management. AI, as a technology, holds great potential in education, particularly in fostering personalized learning tailored to the individual needs and interests of each student. However, the implementation of AI in education presents challenges and ethical considerations, such as data privacy, equitable access to education, and the evolving role of educators. Striking a balance between technology and the essential role of educators is crucial to ensure a focus on holistic student development and preparation for a changing world. Despite the recent introduction of ChatGPT, there is a lack of systematic reviews on its impact on education. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to analyze existing situation on the use of ChatGPT in higher education in Albania, addressing questions about the state of scientific research, benefits and challenges of implementation, and future trends in the field. An online questionnaire will be proposed and distributed to obtain this information. The collected data will be elaborated on and analyzed. The study includes 311 students from both bachelor's and master's programs. Importantly, the questionnaire encompasses students from various Albanian universities, including both public and private institutions. Overall, the study contributes valuable insights into the impact and potential of ChatGPT in higher education, paving the way for informed decision-making and future research in this dynamic field.
