Annamaria Di Grassi, Arianna Beri, Laura Sara Agrati

Abstract


This contribution examines the use of ChatGPT in higher education as a teaching tool, focusing on the perceptions of university students. The scarcity of studies available in the literature motivated the selection of the 12 most recent and authoritative studies by conducting a literature review. The findings indicate a general positive view on the part of the students, some ethical concerns and, with respect to the disposition towards the tool, the presence of a possible cultural factor.
