Abstract

– The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and chatbots such as ChatGPT has profoundly changed our understanding of AI capabilities. This paper explores the impact of GenUI on the economy and education, highlighting its potential for automating tasks previously unfeasible with computers. Using qualitative descriptive and inductive methods, the paper identifies the effects of GenUI chatbots on daily life and education. A special chapter addresses its influence on everyday life, evident across almost all industries. GenUI enhances efficiency, productivity, and improves data analysis and forecasting. A notable change is observed in education, where the effort (learning) and then the result using GenUI has shifted to first achieving results and then effort by verifying the accuracy of GenUI responses. As many tasks are now solvable with GenUI, we provide recommendations on the proper use of these new tools and how to adapt educational methods. We also emphasise the need for carefully exploring and addressing the challenges associated with the use of GenAI, and highlight the necessity for ensuring ethical and responsible use of this technology.
