Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has changed higher education, especially at the higher level where critical thinking, creation, and knowledge acquisition are primary. This paper looks into the combination of ChatGPT in postgraduate pedagogy in Islamabad, investigating its outcome, performance, situation, and future potential. This paper explores the integration of ChatGPT in postgraduate education in Islamabad, investigating its impact, benefits, challenges, and future prospects. This study adopted a quantitative survey design to explore the use of ChatGPT in postgraduate education in Islamabad. A structured questionnaire was used, targeting postgraduate students and university faculty. Findings underscore ChatGPT’s dual role as an enabler and disruptor in higher education, necessitating balanced integration strategies. To increase ChatGPT's benefits while mitigating risks, the following actions are proposed. Define standard use, attribution standards, and punishment for misuse (e.g., plagiarism). Offer workshops for students and faculty on efficient, ethical AI use. Provide IT resources to troubleshoot usage barriers (e.g., access, technical errors). To increase ChatGPT's benefits while mitigating risks, the following actions are proposed.
