Social Impact of AI on the Organization of Higher Education in Electrical Engineering and in Society

The way we access information has evolved continuously throughout human history. In 2022, the first global LLM appeared, ChatGPT. This innovation enabled direct interaction and precise answers to questions asked in natural written language. By 2025, the model evolved to support interaction through verbal natural language, with integration into systems such mobile devices, further expanding access to information. Since ChatGPT, many AI tools have emerged in different contexts. In Higher Education Institutions, there is a high level of concern about fundamental aspects of education, three of which stand out: the development of students' critical thinking, the real acquisition of essential competences, and engagement. Several studies have been carried out on the application of LLM in Higher Education. A short review will be presented. In society, changes are starting to be implemented and are expected to have a significant impact. Examples or trends on changes in the healthcare and justice systems will be introduced. The paper aims to show the current state of LLMs, their impact on education, on society, and consequently on the procedures within most present and future professions. To support this, a student survey was carried out, presenting their perception of the impact of LLM systems.

Abstract

The way we access information has evolved continuously throughout human history. In 2022, the first global LLM appeared, ChatGPT. This innovation enabled direct interaction and precise answers to questions asked in natural written language. By 2025, the model evolved to support interaction through verbal natural language, with integration into systems such mobile devices, further expanding access to information. Since ChatGPT, many AI tools have emerged in different contexts. In Higher Education Institutions, there is a high level of concern about fundamental aspects of education, three of which stand out: the development of students' critical thinking, the real acquisition of essential competences, and engagement. Several studies have been carried out on the application of LLM in Higher Education. A short review will be presented. In society, changes are starting to be implemented and are expected to have a significant impact. Examples or trends on changes in the healthcare and justice systems will be introduced. The paper aims to show the current state of LLMs, their impact on education, on society, and consequently on the procedures within most present and future professions. To support this, a student survey was carried out, presenting their perception of the impact of LLM systems.
