The paper presents the most comprehensive and large-scale global study to date on how higher education students perceived use of ChatGPT in early 2024. With a sample 23,218 from 109 countries territories, reveals that primarily used for brainstorming, summarizing texts, finding research articles, with few using it professional creative writing. They found useful simplifying complex information content, but less reliable providing supporting classroom learning, though some considered its clearer than peers teachers. Moreover, agreed need AI regulations at all levels due concerns about promoting cheating, plagiarism, social isolation. However, they believed could potentially enhance their access knowledge improve learning experience, efficiency, chances achieving good grades. While was as effective improving literacy, digital communication, content creation skills, interpersonal decision-making, numeracy, native language proficiency, development critical thinking skills. Students also felt would boost demand AI-related skills facilitate remote work without significantly impacting unemployment. Emotionally, mostly positive ChatGPT, curiosity calmness being common emotions. Further examinations reveal variations students' perceptions across different socio-demographic geographic factors, key factors influencing identified. Higher institutions' managers teachers may benefit these findings while formulating curricula instructions/regulations use, well when designing teaching methods assessment tools. policymakers consider strategies secondary system development, especially light changing labor market needs related development.

Background/Objectives: The evolution of digital technology enhances the broadening a person's intellectual growth. Research points out that implementing innovative applications world improves human social, cognitive, and metacognitive behavior. Artificial intelligence chatbots are yet another human-made construct. These forms software simulate conversation, understand process user input, provide personalized responses. Executive function includes set higher mental processes necessary for formulating, planning, achieving goal. present study aims to investigate executive reinforcement through artificial chatbots, outlining potentials, limitations, future research suggestions. Specifically, examined three questions: use conversational in functioning training, their impact on executive-cognitive skills, duration any improvements. Methods: assessment existing literature was implemented using systematic review method, according PRISMA 2020 Principles. avalanche search method employed conduct source following databases: Scopus, Web Science, PubMed, complementary Google Scholar. This included studies from 2021 experimental, observational, or mixed methods. It AI-based conversationalists support functions, such as anxiety, stress, depression, memory, attention, cognitive load, behavioral changes. In addition, this general populations with specific neurological conditions, all peer-reviewed, written English, full-text access. However, excluded before 2021, reviews, non-AI-based conversationalists, not targeting range skills abilities, without open criteria aligned objectives, ensuring focus AI agents function. initial collection totaled n = 115 articles; however, eligibility requirements led final selection 10 studies. Results: findings suggested positive effects enhance improve skills. Although, several limitations were identified, making it still difficult generalize reproduce effects. Conclusions: an tool can assistant learning expanding contributing metacognitive, social development individual. its training is at primary stage. highlighted need unified framework reference studies, better designs, diverse populations, larger sample sizes participants, longitudinal observe long-term use.

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) based chatbot developed by OpenAI and has attracted great attention since its launch in late 2022. This study aims to provide an overview of research through CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis. We collected 2465 published articles related from the Web Science. The main forces were identified examining productive researchers, institutions, countries/regions. Moreover, we performed co-authorship network analysis at levels author country/region. Additionally, conducted co-citation identify impactful journals/sources, literature field cluster primary themes this field. key findings are as follows. First, found that most researcher, institution, country Ishith Seth/Himel Mondal, Stanford University, United States, respectively. Second, highly cited researchers Tiffany H. Kung, Tom Brown, Malik Sallam. Third, impactable sources/journals area ARXIV, Nature, Cureus Journal Medical Fourth, work was Kung et al., who demonstrated can potentially support medical education. Fifth, overall author-based collaboration consists several isolated sub-networks, which indicates authors small groups lack communication. Sixth, Kingdom, India, Spain had high degree betweenness centrality, means they play significant roles country/region-based network. Seventh, major “data processing using ChatGPT”, “exploring user behavioral intention “applying for differential diagnosis”. Overall, believe our will help scholars stakeholders understand academic development ChatGPT.
