Seminar paper from the year 2025 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: 1,3, University of Flensburg (Institute of Educational Sciences), course: School and Society II, language: English, abstract: What exactly is ChatGPT, and why will it have a significant impact on learning in German schools? How does it influence the process of digitalization in schools? When Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced the release of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022, on X (formerly Twitter), only a few anticipated its far-reaching societal impact. Altman invited users to try out ChatGPT. The result was that within just five days, the platform reached one million users, and two months later, that number had climbed to 100 million. The user base continues to grow rapidly, making ChatGPT the fastest-growing application of our time. While some celebrate the possibilities of this technology and are fascinated by its potential, others view its development with concern. They wonder how to "tame this genie," fearing that the technology might cause more harm than good. Soon, a broad societal debate began about the opportunities and limitations of this form of artificial intelligence. No other topic has garnered as much attention or research activity in recent months. Accordingly, these debates have also resonated in the field of education.
