Abstract

It is true that our beliefs are formed through personal experiences, upbringing, cultural influences, education, and other external factors, and we do not have direct control over our beliefs. Our belief is not entirely under our conscious control. Let's put questions on the ethical use of ChatGPT in education. Why are people fearful of adopting the new technology such as artificial intelligence? The recent launch of ChatGPT, an AI tool, led to banned in several institutions after hearing about its potential as creating content and generating a wide range of textual output. So, how, or can, we inspire the institutions to change their beliefs by not banning the tool? How can we morally use ChatGPT with values, principles, and norms that govern ethical behavior?
