Views of Health Sciences Undergraduates on ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence-Powered Language Model: A Qualitative Study
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v62 n4 p1258-1272 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted the field of education, particularly in health sciences, where tools such as ChatGPT are increasingly utilised. ChatGPT, powered by AI, presents both opportunities and challenges that warrant investigation. This qualitative study explored the perceptions, experiences, and expectations of undergraduate students in health sciences regarding ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model. Through in-depth interviews, data were collected and analysed thematically, focusing on three main themes: perceptions of ChatGPT, student experiences with the tool, and their future expectations. The findings reveal that while students see ChatGPT as a revolutionary tool and a valuable source of information, they also acknowledge concerns about its potential for providing incorrect information. The study emphasises the importance of critical thinking when using AI models in education and provides guidance for responsible usage.
