Utilizing AI Chatbots for Character Education: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Character education plays a crucial role in the moral and ethical development of students, aiming to shape individuals with noble values. In today’s digital age, the utilization of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, presents significant potential in supporting character education. AI chatbots can provide interactive, personalized, and reflective learning experiences, helping students address moral dilemmas and cultivate ethical understanding. However, the implementation of this technology is not without challenges, such as limitations in emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and the need for educator supervision. Through this literature review, this paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with using AI chatbots for character education, as well as its implications for future educational practices.
