Abstract: OpenAI revolutionized the world. Rolled out in late 2022, ChatGPT based on OpenAI immediately became a success for solving everyday tasks by a broad spectrum of internet users. Access to sophisticated decision-making power and analysis of internet content became a creative destruction over the classical search engine, but also human labor power. As a classical market innovation, ChatGPT is expected to revolutionize many domains and markets. This article concerns AI use in academic teaching. First, the historical advent of OpenAI and ChatGPT is outlined. Second, empirical evidence is summarized on the use of AI in education with particular attention to user experience and market transformation capacity. Third, the strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats in using AI for teaching will be discussed and the polarizing acceptance of a tool that serves as decision making aid in educational settings thematized. Fourth, practical implications and recommendations are given. Fifth, the future of AI in teaching but also the ethical boundaries of an adoption of AI in education will be outlined.
