Authentic or artificial intelligence? Facultys perspectives on the ChatGPTs impact on U.S. urban planning Ph.D. programs

abstract

• AbstractThis commentary article explores the impact of ChatGPT on Urban Planning Ph.D. programs within universities in the United States. Our survey reveals a high awareness of Artificial Intelligence tools (e.g. ChatGPT) among faculty yet highlights a cautious approach to integrating ChatGPT into curricula and preliminary exam settings. While some educators recognize ChatGPTs potential to enhance research efficiency and language proficiency, especially for international students, concerns about academic integrity and the over-reliance on AI are prevalent. The commentary underscores the need for a balanced approach, advocating for ChatGPTs use as a supplementary tool while maintaining critical thinking in doctoral preliminary exams.
