From the launch to over 100 million users in two months, ChatGPT has been one of the fastest-adopted technologies since the start of the internet (Hu, 2023). It took TikTok nine months after launch to reach the same number of users, yet the disruptive impact of Chatbot A.I. is significantly more significant for the higher education market. With such rapid adoption, professors and university administrators must quickly educate themselves about how this new technology can be used in higher education. Our panel will explain what A.I. Chatbot is, how students and professors can use the technology, the positive and the negative, share some personal examples of how they experienced Chatbot use in their classes, and outline recommendations for how professors and administrators can develop thoughtful protocols for this new technology.
