I was wondering if you would care to share your thoughts on the new innovation ChatGPT
Pros and Cons of AI
Thank you

No. Not at all.
Human instinct is to be afraid of anything strange.
Wether it was first fire, first wheel, first computer and so on. I am aure AI will boost new original research
As educators, we need to invent other kinds of tests, those that can test gor human understanding and as researchers likewise.
As an educator, we should accept and utilizev with learners the features that a chatBot offers however in the human mind is needed to even extract the correct information out of it.
I have very short experience of using chatGPT. AI based tool is useful for teachers as it provide answer to any question in a short time. But it lacks reference so not as good for researchers.
As a researcher and a medical educator, I have witnessed the rapid development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. AI has the potential to transform healthcare by improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. However, AI also poses some challenges and risks that need to be addressed carefully. I have been a user and follower of AI recently and these views are based on my research and understanding.
Pros of AI in Medicine
- AI can provide real-time data and analytics that can help medical professionals make better and faster decisions. For example, AI can analyze medical images, pathology slides, or genomic data to detect cancer or other diseases with high accuracy and speed. AI can also monitor patients' vital signs, alert doctors of emergencies, and suggest optimal treatments based on the latest evidence.
- AI can streamline tasks and reduce administrative burden for medical professionals. AI can automate tasks such as scheduling appointments, tracking patient histories, reviewing insurance claims, and generating reports. This can save time and resources for doctors and nurses, and allow them to focus more on patient care.
- AI can enhance personalized medicine and precision medicine. AI can tailor treatments to each patient's unique characteristics, such as genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors. AI can also identify subtypes of diseases and predict outcomes and responses to therapies. This can improve the effectiveness and safety of treatments, and reduce side effects and costs.
- AI can fill gaps in access to quality care in underserved areas. AI can provide remote diagnosis, consultation, and education through telemedicine platforms. AI can also leverage mobile devices and wearable sensors to collect and analyze health data from patients at home or in rural areas. This can increase the availability and affordability of healthcare services for people who lack access to them.
Cons of AI in Medicine
- AI can pose ethical, legal, and social issues that need to be resolved. For example, who is responsible for the errors or harms caused by AI systems? How can we ensure the privacy and security of health data used by AI systems? How can we prevent bias or discrimination in AI systems? How can we ensure the transparency and explainability of AI systems? These are some of the questions that need to be answered before AI can be widely adopted in medicine.
- AI can challenge the role and relationship of medical professionals and patients. AI can replace some of the tasks or functions that are traditionally performed by human doctors or nurses. This can affect the skills, competencies, and responsibilities of medical professionals, as well as their autonomy and authority. AI can also change the expectations, preferences, and trust of patients toward medical professionals and AI systems. This can affect the communication, interaction, and rapport between them.
- AI can create new risks and challenges for medical research and education. AI can generate new types of data and knowledge that may not fit into existing frameworks or standards of medical research and education. For example, how can we validate, verify, or replicate the results or insights produced by AI systems? How can we update or revise the curricula or methods of medical education to incorporate AI skills or competencies? How can we balance the benefits and risks of using AI systems for research or education purposes? These are some of the issues that need to be addressed by medical researchers and educators.
Conclusion
AI is a powerful tool that can revolutionize medicine in many ways. However, it is not a panacea that can solve all the problems or challenges in healthcare. It is important to understand both the pros and cons of AI in medicine and to use it wisely and responsibly. As a researcher and a medical educator, I hope to contribute to the advancement and integration of AI in medicine, while also ensuring its ethical, legal, social, and educational implications are properly considered.
As an educator I would like to see my students exposed to different views and experience. The time of "spoon feeding" in learning is over. Students and mentors are expected to embrace change for the betterment of humanity. Yet, they should be selective and filter out the "flawed" science. We should give some time to AI tools such as CHATGPT to reveal its advantages and disadvantages. At the same time keep at pace with the new developments in critical fields such as health and education.
GPT-4’s launch ‘another step change’ for AI and higher education
New version of OpenAI’s chatbot can interpret images and tutor students...

It would depend on how we use it. Researchers and Educators can learn and find answers instantly for which they used to spend hours and days.
Moreover, it's still in learning phase and is not 100% accurate so cross-checking in critical cases is required.
One of the major con is it may make humans more lazy and less creative.
Ultimately, it all depends on how we use it.
Noam Chomsky noted that ChatGPT in education is “basically high-tech plagiarism” and “a way of avoiding learning”. Regardless of how it is presented, ChatGPT and the large suite of similar AI applications reveal the urgent need to rethink assessment and change our industrial, neoliberal models of education...

AI could be beneficial in many fields, even in the field of education. It should not be, however, used as an alternative to the human thinking. If it is used as an alternative to our brain it will destroy the foundation of education and the human endeavour for development. Nevertheless, It should not be mistaken that AI will be an alternative to what human mind can do.
Much like the smartphone and personal computer that came before it, there is much talk about the impact that artificial intelligence-powered chatbots like ChatGPT will have on students, teachers and traditional classroom learning...
For example, a teacher could ask ChatGPT to produce a lesson plan for a specific year level or grade, and the platform has the capacity to respond with a range of activities, as well as any materials you may need. Students can ask ChatGPT to write an essay on a particular topic or provide written responses to homework prompts. The platform can produce remarkably clear, well-organised, long-form answers to complex questions or topics.
A key concern amongst those working in education is the potential for it to be used for writing assignments or for plagiarism. Since its launch in November, ChatGPT has been banned in Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmanian public schools...
The arrival of ChatGPT will cause us to rethink assessment...

Instructors should teach students to use other authoritative sources (e.g., reference books) to verify, evaluate, and corroborate the factual correctness of information provided by ChatGPT.
Instructors should openly discuss ChatGPT in their courses and emphasise the importance of academic honesty.
For researchers:

Hello Dr Muhammad Yawar Khan
As in the first comment by Dr Syed Muhammad Azfar , it is just human instinct to be wary of everything new. I think, specifically, with this issue I agree with the comments that we need to be thoughtful about how we utilise this new technology as it may be beneficial in many circumstances, as mentioned by Dr Faaiz Y. Alhamdani .
AI outcry intensifies as EU readies regulation
Policymakers are battling to keep pace with AI developments, while experts warn of societal impact.
In the EU, members of the European parliament agreed on amendments to the EU AI Act, which specially covers AI foundation models, such as the large language model used in ChatGPT. The amendment to the act means that developers of such models now need to run tests and analysis to identify and mitigate reasonably foreseeable risks to health, safety, fundamental rights, the environment, democracy and the rule of law...

Chat GPT has been capturing almost the data until the Pademic. hence from the 2020 onward. some of the updated data has not been fully collected. this is a great innovative Search Chat AI ... However until you see something after coming later. until you see the Co-Pilot.. and some others Immersive Tech..
the Tech Scientists have to do whatever they innovate. otherwise they have no value. But being human.. we still need to keep whatever to keep our Biomedical Cells to sustain our daily life. Have you ever thought someday. the energy power is gone?
What AI can do?
and what Human can survive?
The use of Chat GPT might be said to be detrimental to the academic setting especially in technological advanced country. From my perspective, lecturers, teacher gives out a particular task to assess the student level of understanding of a learnt concept. The question is, how can this be measured accurately when students at various level depends on the AI TOOLS for solution? If adequate measures is not put in place to control the use of chat GPT in the academic setting , the objectives of teaching and learning might not be achieved especially among contemporary learners.
We (the educators) are "afraid" of Artificial Intelligence and Chatbots like ChatGPT! The same phenomenon happened when calculators were invented or the internet came into regular use.
We are afraid that future students will want to get more than we can provide to them, more than we are capable of providing to them at this point in time. Lo and behold, every new intervention will bring changing times and create new challenges for educators.
We cannot stop this phenomenon. However, we can educate ourselves to overcome these challenges. Otherwise, there will be new educators, with updated knowledge and skills, to replace us. This is the way the world has been working and it will keep moving on whether we like it or not.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, but common sense tells you it is going to have a marked and lasting impact on education. Whether universities and schools demand students shun it, embrace it or ignore it is playing out in real time. Few seem to be looking at the international recruitment opportunities and who will be winners and losers...
ChatGPT makes the straitjacket of aggregator selection categories look as dated and restrictive as the days before streaming TV, mobile phones and the internet. It will revolutionise student search and selection for university choices because it is lightning quick and can be almost infinitely personalised. Above all, it removes the annoying propensity of current platforms to feature and favour universities that pay for the privilege of being on the top page...

Do we need to worry about new innovation ChatGPT?
Yes, we need to worry about new innovations like ChatGPT. Because like any innovation that can impact education, we need to embrace this also and inform ourselves to make changes accordingly.
Innovations are always good to have in the field of science specifically, ChatGPT is one of them having a lot of data in its database, but of course the usefulness only depends upon its use, to use and get benefit out of it one has to be tech savvy and sharp. I would suggest everyone to do a course on coursera for free about the use off this application in the field of research and make the most out of it.
The emergence of innovative technologies such as ChatGPT presents both advantages and drawbacks for educators and researchers. On the positive side, these tools have the potential to significantly improve efficiency by rapidly delivering information, freeing up more time for advanced thinking and analysis. They also facilitate global collaboration and communication, promoting a dynamic exchange of ideas. However, there are legitimate concerns. The sheer volume of information produced could contribute to overload, and a reliance on AI for information retrieval may risk diminishing critical thinking abilities. Ensuring ethical technology use, fostering critical thinking, and adapting teaching methods for collaborative human-AI interaction are essential considerations. Ultimately, taking a thoughtful and proactive approach to integrating AI into education and research is crucial for maximizing benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks.
I think as an educator and or researcher we should always be open to any new innovation. Life without AI will be impossible in few years. We should learn how to use the technology to serve us.
"The issue of AI bias is particularly concerning, as it can perpetuate stereotypes and disseminate misinformation. Consequently, it becomes imperative to develop more equitable and representative AI models, alongside maintaining a vigilant commitment to fairness and accuracy in Generative AI-generated content. Similarly, safe-guarding data privacy assumes critical importance in maintaining trust in Generative AI applications, necessitating the implementation of stringent data protection measures and transparent data handling practices ..."
