Unlocking the Potential: Transformative Applications of Generative AI in East Kalimantan's Educational Landscape
In the new era of AI, this research delves into ChatGPT's role in reshaping East Kalimantan's educational landscape. Utilizing qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews with educators, students, and administrators, the study explores diverse perspectives on the use of ChatGPT in educational settings. The findings reveal that ChatGPT significantly enhances personalized learning experiences and interactive teaching methods, while also overcoming language barriers, thus making education more accessible and efficient. However, the research also brings to light potential drawbacks, such as the impact on students' critical thinking skills, ethical concerns, and the risk of exacerbating educational disparities due to uneven access to technology. The paper concludes by advocating for a cautious and balanced integration of ChatGPT into the educational sector. It emphasizes the importance of addressing ethical issues, maintaining a human-centric approach in teaching, and ensuring equitable access to AI-driven educational resources. The study suggests that a strategic and responsible implementation of ChatGPT can optimize its benefits while minimizing its potential risks. This approach aims to positively contribute to the educational development of East Kalimantan, balancing the technological advancements with the preservation of core educational values and practices.
