Abstract

ChatGPT is an extensively prominent chatbot that operates on artificial intelligence (AI), garnering significant recognition in diverse fields such as education, healthcare, and Business. This study examines the potential benefits, difficulties, and consequences of using ChatGPT in research, application, and policy. This article analyzes the prevailing patterns and obstacles in ChatGPT, along with the prospective implementations of ChatGPT in the domains of education, healthcare, and Business. The study aims to conduct a thorough assessment examining the efficacy of ChatGPT in healthcare, education, research, and practice. Furthermore, this analysis aims to ascertain potential constraints or obstacles that may emerge during its execution. This study also examines the importance of ChatGPT as a groundbreaking advancement in AI, highlighting its potential to augment the abilities of individuals in various sectors, such as education, healthcare, and business, thereby enabling the realization of unprecedented accomplishments. The exact extent of limitations demonstrated by the current language model remains uncertain, and the capabilities of ChatGPT have raised significant worries inside academic institutions regarding the potential increase in instances of plagiarism. This study provides recommendations for politicians, educators, and healthcare practitioners. The main objective is to address and minimize the potential hazards of implementing ChatGPT while promoting its ethical and responsible utilization.
