  Chat GPT belongs to the category of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT)
language models, which have received specialized training to produce text based
on natural language inputs. Its purpose is to imitate human-like conversation
and can be implemented in multiple applications, such as chatbots, virtual
assistants, and language translation systems, starting with an introduction to
the new trends and differences between artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and artificial neural networks, and highlighting the rigorous
language logic and powerful text generation capabilities of Chat GPT. This
paper delves into how advances in artificial intelligence will shape e-learning
in the coming decades, particularly in terms of Chat- GPT's ability to improve
learners' Communicative Competence when English is a second language. The
combination of new trends in artificial intelligence, mainly in the particular
case of English as a second language, and, at the academic level, chatbot
technology, will be the next step in the replacement of the human academic
community by virtual assistants, apparently until a certain point. Despite the
controversy, this very innovative solution will be able to bridge the gap
between technology and education. Moreover, such innovative practices
facilitate communication by enabling its inclusion in various applications,
including virtual assistants, chatbots, and language education. Keyword: Chat
