The Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left an indelible mark on our society, and its impact on the field of higher education has been profound.
One of the most prominent tools in this area is ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI based on the GPT-3.5 architecture.
This model, capable of understanding and generating text in natural language, has quickly gained popularity and has generated both excitement and concern in the educational field.
In order to explore the benefits and challenges associated with the use of ChatGPT in higher education, UNESCO offers a free course on this topic.
