Background and Aim: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly ChatGPT, have rapidly reshaped digital communication and educational practice since their public release in 2022. While ChatGPT provides powerful capabilities for enhancing learning and supporting academic tasks, it also introduces significant legal, ethical and pedagogical concerns, especially in relation to children’s education. This article aims to introduce the core technology behind ChatGPT, review the existing body of literature and critically examine the legal and ethical implications of integrating generative AI into educational settings for children.
Method: A narrative review of theorethical and empirical studies was conducted, drawing on recent publications and systematic review addressingthe opportunities, risks and ethical challenges of using ChatGPT in education. Key themes-including academic, integrity, critical thinking, privacy, fairness, transparency and AI-generated misinformation - were analyzed and synthesized.
Results: The findings indicate that although ChatGPT offers substantial benefits for supporting academic writing, reducing workload and enhancing access to learning resources, serious risks have also been reported. Studies emphasize concerns about academic dishonesty, overreliance on automated text generation, diminished critical thinking skills, biased outputs, lack of transparency and inaccuracies in citations. Systematic reviews report that while approximately 85% of studies identify educational benefits, nearly 97% highlight ethical risks of issue related to the reliability of AI-generated content.
Conclusion: Generative AI represents a transformative milestone for contemporary education but requires cautious and responsible integration - particulary when used bt or for children. The adoption of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is recommended as a pathway to enhance transparency, accountability and trust in AI-supported learning enviroments. A deeper understanding of the legal and ethical dimensions of AI Adoption is essential to ensure equitable, safe and trustworthy use in educational systems.
