ChatGPT for good? On opportunities and challenges of large language models for education

Kasneci, E., et al. (2023). ChatGPT for good? On opportunities and challenges of large language models for education. Learning and Individual Differences, 103, 102274.

FOUND

Twenty-three authors systematically map large language models’ opportunities for education (personalized tutoring, feedback at scale, teacher augmentation) against their challenges (hallucination, bias, over-reliance, the collapse of traditional assessment validity).

MEANS

It remains the canonical briefing document: any institutional AI strategy that doesn’t address both columns of Kasneci’s ledger — opportunity and risk, in the same meeting — is incomplete.
