ABSTRACT

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the education sector has received considerable attention from scholars; however, its potency and application among tourism learners are yet to be discerned. Accordingly, this research note articulates the potential impact and limitations of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in tourism education practices. In particular, the paper aims to raise awareness among tourism educators regarding the disruptive potential of ChatGPT and its impact on academic integrity and ethics. This paper contributes to tourism education practices on AI and robotics by critically discussing ChatGPT from a cognitive science perspective and providing recommendations on how to minimise AI plagiarism in tourism education. This research argues for adapting novel pedagogies as technology evolves and raises the need for AI ethical use guidelines in tourism education.

摘要

人工智能（AI）在教育领域的作用受到了学者们的广泛关注；然而，它在旅游学习者中的效力和应用还有待观察。因此，本研究报告阐明了人工智能聊天机器人 ChatGPT 在旅游教育实践中的潜在影响和局限性。特别是，本文旨在提高旅游教育工作者对 ChatGPT 的破坏性潜力及其对学术诚信和道德的影响的认识。本文通过从认知科学的角度批判性地讨论 ChatGPT 并就如何最大限度地减少旅游教育中的 AI 剽窃提供建议，为人工智能和机器人技术的旅游教育实践做出贡献。
