  Artificial intelligence has evolved enormously over the last two decades,
becoming mainstream in different scientific domains including education, where
so far, it is mainly utilized to enhance administrative and intelligent
tutoring systems services and academic support. ChatGPT, an artificial
intelligence-based chatbot, developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022,
has rapidly gained attention from the entire international community for its
impressive performance in generating comprehensive, systematic, and informative
human-like responses to user input through natural language processing.
Inevitably, it has also rapidly posed several challenges, opportunities, and
potential issues and concerns raised regarding its use across various
scientific disciplines. This paper aims to discuss the legal and ethical
implications arising from this new technology, identify potential use cases,
and enrich our understanding of Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, and its
capabilities in education.
