Exploring the Impact of AI ChatGPT on Humans: Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Considerations
Author : Dr. Aparna Vaidyanathan
Abstract :
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed human-computer interaction, with conversational agents such as ChatGPT becoming increasingly integrated into daily life. This study examines the multifaceted impact of ChatGPT on human cognition, education, creativity, and socio-economic dynamics. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to evaluate both the benefits and challenges of ChatGPT adoption. Findings indicate that ChatGPT enhances productivity, facilitates personalized learning, and expands creative possibilities, yet also presents significant risks, including misinformation, reduced critical thinking, and ethical concerns surrounding authorship and data privacy. The paper argues for a framework of responsible integration, emphasizing AI literacy, transparent governance, and sustained human oversight. By understanding the complex interplay between technological capability and human agency, this research contributes to the discourse on how society can shape AI deployment to support human flourishing while mitigating potential harms. This research paper looks at how ChatGPT is affecting people's lives based on a survey that gathers insights from users. The study explores things like who uses ChatGPT, how often they use it, why they turn to it, what benefits they get, and what challenges they face. It also takes a closer look at some of the concerns and opportunities for improvement that come with using AI-powered tools like ChatGPT. Through this survey, we learned more about user demographics, engagement levels, and attitudes toward ChatGPT. It also explored the benefits people see in using ChatGPT and the difficulties they get into. The results give us a clearer picture of how people are interacting with this AI and what could be improved to make the experience better for everyone. Artificial Intelligence (AI) conversational agents, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, have become integral to human-computer interaction. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of ChatGPT on human cognition, education, creativity, and socio-economic structures. By synthesizing existing literature and emerging case studies, the research evaluates both the positive potential—such as democratizing access to information and enhancing productivity—and the concerns, including ethical dilemmas, misinformation, and overreliance. The findings underscore the need for balanced integration of AI into daily life, emphasizing critical AI literacy and governance frameworks.
