Abstract: Our article focuses on the main challenges associated with the use of ChatGPT in higher education. This technology has both positive and negative impacts on the process of independent academic work completion when the complex procedures meant to ensure the authenticity of each author's own intellectual work are not applied. The empirical research conducted was based on the analysis of the work products of undergraduate and graduate students from a university in the south west of Romania. The results of this qualitative exploration of how they solved their seminar exercises or how they developed papers such as case studies, micro-research projects or extracurricular activity projects indicated that ChatGPT contributes to their academic productivity, but respect for the ethics regarding the honesty of documentation, by assuming only one's own efforts and formulating personal, creative ideas is also important. The findings we have reached refer to the opportunities and limits related to the integration of ChatGPT in learning, but clearly plead for its reflexive-responsible use. Due to the innovative nature of the current technologies, they are becoming more accessed by young people, precisely through the ease and convenience of their use, which requires an awareness of the disadvantages associated with superficial learning, on the part of the students, as well as a constructivist understanding of their role, on the part of the educators or decision-makers in educational institutions.
