Education in the modern era has undergone a significant transformation along with the advancement of digital technology. Digital technologies that are currently popularly applied in the field of education are ChatGPT and AI (Artificial Intelligence) applications as interactive and responsive learning assistants. This study aims to examine how the use of ChatGPT and AI applications is used wisely as learning assistants. The research employs a qualitative, literature-based approach and is analyzed through content analysis.
