Ethical and Legal Considerations of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Challenges and Prospects

The use of Artificial Intelligence, hereafter AI, has become widespread in the academic and student community. ChatGPT is a generative language modelling tool that presents opportunities and challenges beyond regulation. Ethical principles and a prospective law must be combined with a proper education of the educational community in order to use AI as a tool in knowledge generation and not mere decontextualised information that can lead to failure in the goals of higher education as well as the goals of the larger social development of modern society, which is an inclusive and solidarity-based education. © 2023 University of Toronto Press.
