Abstract
Background and The use of artificial intelligence-based (AI-based) Chatbots in scientific research
Aim of Study: and everyday practice is becoming an integral part of most people’s lives. The
field of psychology, like many others, has been influenced by artificial
intelligence (AI).
The aim of the study: to explore the possibilities of using AI-based Chatbots in
psychological research and practice.
Results: The role of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in the scientific research of academics and
psychology practitioners was reviewed. The issues of using ChatGPT, which
specializes in text, in theoretical research were discussed, as well as the potential
applications of AI-based Chatbots in psychological practice.

Conclusions: New AI technologies have transformed the scientific research ecosystem.
Researchers, who actively use ChatGPT, should do so properly, taking into
account the possibilities and limitations of using this toolkit in their research.
Borrowing an AI-generated text for a research paper should be considered
plagiarism. In addition to the risk to professional reputation, this can have a
negative impact on the researcher’s own personal progress. People who do not
have access to a qualified professional or who are financially constrained can use
ChatGPT in psychological practice. In one way or another, these users must
realize that the responsibility for the results and consequences of using such a
toolkit rests entirely with them.
Keywords: ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, psychology research, psychology practice,
possibilities, responsibility
