A rtificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that allows computer programs to gain the ability to think and learn like humans.In its simplest sense, this technology is used for computers to analyze large amounts of data, recognize patterns, and perform various tasks.Thanks to the computational speed and data storage capacity that computers have, AI can help with complex solutions and managing new information.In addition to helping people quickly access the data they want, AI has the potential to manage huge networks such as businesses and nations and ensures that these networks are accessible to everyone. [1]at is ChatGPT?ChatGPT, a very popular AI product recently, is a language model provided by OpenAI (OpenAI -a company that conducts research and development in the field of AI).This model can be used for tasks such as reading, text generation, text completion, question-answer, and matching with a large data library.The quality of the text produced is very good and it is really hard to distinguish it from a text written by humans.Unlike search engines such as Google, ChatGPT does not search for answers to questions directly in data found on the internet or use pre-ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed based on a large database.When the use of ChatGPT in nursing education is evaluated, several important factors emerge.ChatGPT assists in reinforcing theoretical knowledge, can provide students with structured training opportunities in laboratory practices by creating checklists, and saves time by offering prompt responses.However, there are disadvantages such as limited reality and a deficiency in clinical application.ChatGPT cannot provide a real patient experience and has limitations in its clinical use.Using ChatGPT in assignments may lead to issues concerning citation, copyright, and ethics.In addition, concerns may arise regarding the protection of patient privacy and confidentiality.Therefore, potential problems arising from the program's use should be discussed with students, and critical thinking should be encouraged.This review is prepared with the aim of examining the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT in nursing education.
