ChatGPT’s impact on the value of academic degrees exploring the intersection of AI and education for more effective educational systems

Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a significant player in various fields, including education. Among these AI systems is ChatGPT, which allows users to interact with a large language model through generative AI and natural language processing (NLP). This thesis aims to investigate the impact of AI systems like ChatGPT on education, particularly within the realm of computer science. It explores whether ChatGPT will revolutionize teaching or merely fade away as a passing trend. This study delves into how ChatGPT can potentially aid in earning a computer science degree, if properly regulated and understood. Utilizing articles from scholars and anonymous surveys of students' experiences with ChatGPT, this research seeks to understand its role in education and its implications for the future.
