AI in Education: Examining ChatGPT Awareness and Usage among University of Science and Technology Students, Aden

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence tools, specifically ChatGPT, in education poses both opportunities and challenges. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the effectiveness and impact of using ChatGPT in educational settings, particularly within the context of Yemen specifically the University of Science & Technology (UST) in Aden. To address this gap, there is a need to assess the current use of ChatGPT and explore the perceptions and experiences of academic staff and students regarding its implementation. By identifying potential issues, benefits, and concerns, this study aims to contribute valuable insights for the successful integration of ChatGPT and improve the overall educational experience at the UST University. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to a more informed and effective use of AI tools, improving the overall educational experience of Yemeni universities and potentially serving as a model for similar institutions.
