Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, Open Educational Resources, Higher Education,
Abstract
This research paper highlights the potential of leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies, exemplified by the ChatGPT application, as a model within Open Educational Resources (OER) platforms for higher education. The study reviews the latest developments in large language models and the ChatGPT application, presents the concept of OER and its significance in universities. It also explores the potential benefits of utilizing ChatGPT in this domain and analyses the associated technical, financial, and legal threats
