Description
Artificial intelligent (AI) tools like ChatGPT have been demonstrating disruptive impacts in many aspects. In this research, we aim to investigate students’ use of ChatGPT by conducting an ethical analysis in a university context. We refer to the theories of consequentialist, deontological, and virtue ethics for the analysis. Some preliminary findings are provided regarding how we can view ethical concerns with the guidance from the theories. Given the exploratory nature of this research, we also plan to conduct a semi-structured interview on a student sample in a local university to enrich the insights of the ethical analysis. As AI tools keep evolving, we hope that this line of research can be a meaningful start to theoretically understand the ethical concerns of AI tools, which will contribute to the understanding of their responsible/ethical use, as well as offer guidelines for creating appropriate regulation policies.
