ChatGPT, AI, refleksion, vita activa, vita contemplativa, higher education, dømmekraftAbstract
The release of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022 marked a new era in AI-supported education and highlighted both the benefits and challenges of using chatbots in teaching. Concerns about superficial learning and potential misuse of AI have made educators hesitant to implement such tools. The article explores ethical and pedagogical perspectives on AI in higher education through Hannah Arendt's theories on "the human condition". The case study is based on screen dumps from students' use of ChatGPT in written assignments and focus group interviews. The research question is: How does the use of AI affect students' learning processes in relation to Arendt's concepts of vita activa and vita contemplativa, and how can trust and transparency between students and educators be strengthened to ensure responsible and critical use of the technology? The article analyses data from 70 students from architectural technology and construction management in their third to seventh semesters. Through a thematic analysis and a discussion of the results against Arendt's concepts of vita activa and vita contemplativa, the article seeks a nuanced understanding of AI's role in education to develop pedagogical frameworks that promote academic integrity and critical thinking. The article proposes a conceptual framework for creating transparency and trust related to the use of AI in learning environments.
