Emerging AI technologies: ChatGPT challenges in contemporary university foreign language education

Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on the issue of emerging technologies, particularly on the development of AI generative transformer tool ChatGPT, and their im- pact on academic research and activities with an emphasis on university for- eign language education. The materials are derived from available interna- tional sources and well as from own AI and teaching experiences. Connected issues – those of the sense of agency and questions of collaborative work – are also raised. This paper presents a more balanced view towards the AI generative systems and tools development and their use in educational contexts, and, apart from discussed problematic challenges, argues for the presence of an area of beneficial development of the AI- assisting instruments, useful in a variety of foreign language academic tasks.
