Abstract

Background and Aim of Study:The use of artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) Chatbots in scientific research and everyday practice is becoming an integral part of most people’s lives. The field of psychology, like many others, has been influenced by artificial intelligence (AI).
The aim of the study: to explore the possibilities of using AI-based Chatbots in psychological research and practice.
Results: The role of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in the scientific research of academics and psychology practitioners was reviewed. The issues of using ChatGPT, which specializes in text, in theoretical research were discussed, as well as the potential applications of AI-based Chatbots in psychological practice.
Conclusions: New AI technologies have transformed the scientific research ecosystem. Researchers, who actively use ChatGPT, should do so properly, taking into account the possibilities and limitations of using this toolkit in their research. Borrowing an AI-generated text for a research paper should be considered plagiarism. In addition to the risk to professional reputation, this can have a negative impact on the researcher’s own personal progress. People who do not have access to a qualified professional or who are financially constrained can use ChatGPT in psychological practice. In one way or another, these users must realize that the responsibility for the results and consequences of using such a toolkit rests entirely with them.
