Open-access The use of artificial intelligence and its challenges for academic evaluation: a literature review

Abstract

Natural language processing (NLP) has been studied in the computer industry for a long time. Recent technical advances have led to the development of complex artificial intelligence (AI) models, including Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT chat). These have a worrying potential for academic evaluation because they can carry out a range of linguistic activities and generate human reactions. Considering this issue, the aim of this article is to examine the potential advantages and disadvantages of using Chat GPT and other NLP technologies in academic writing and their evaluation, according to the review of the literature, to draw attention to the ethical concerns raised by its use. For this purpose, a literature search was carried out that included academic articles on Google Academic, where the result of the search was 12 articles with a high number of quotes. A qualitative methodology was used for the study, which involves reading and analyzing the sources to find relevant information to meet the research objectives. Keywords such as “GPT Chat”, “AI-generated content”, “academic writing” and “natural language processing” “fraud (ethics) in evaluations” guided the search. The results of this preliminary analysis suggest that Chat GPT and other NLP techniques could increase the efficiency of academic writing and research. However, its use also raises concerns about how it can affect the reliability and validity of academic work. The study emphasizes the need to explore thoroughly the potential applications, dangers, and limitations of these technologies. It also emphasizes the value of in-depth discussions and moral concerns around its implementation.

Keywords: Natural language processing; ChatGPT; Artificial Intelligence; Education; Academic evaluation
