Development goals

At the beginning of the project, the most important task was to formulate the didactic and technological goals. This was necessary because the widespread use of artificial intelligence is a new phenomenon that elicits mixed emotions and reactions from people. Following the spread of the internet and mobile phones, artificial intelligence represents the third major wave of digital technological developments, having a greater impact on our thinking than ever before. 

This inevitably raises the question of what distinguishes human intelligence from artificial intelligence. Many people fear losing their jobs and are reluctant to use new technology. The negative sentiments toward AI are also reinforced by the fact that services are still in the experimental stage, with many incorrect responses, and there are issues related to copyright and privacy.¹. 

At the same time, there is also enormous, perhaps excessive enthusiasm surrounding the new technology, as exemplified by Ray Kurzweil's theory of singularity, which suggests that we are close to achieving AGI (artificial general intelligence) and predicts results such as reaching a lifespan of 200-300 years within this century.².

Taking into account these mixed emotions and reactions, we based our approach on the three statements issued by the Holy See this year, which are balanced and forward-looking, and discuss how these technologies can be harnessed for the service of humanity, with particular attention to the role of education. These ideas are elaborated in detail by Giovanni Tridente, a Vatican researcher, an interview given for the project. We held several internal discussions with the team, clarified these issues in the project description on the website, and involved ecclesiastical experts who understand and identify with these goals.

Didactic goals

When designing Jók.ai GPT and developing the website, we set several didactic goals to ensure that interested users and high school students can benefit as much as possible from this technology:

1. Kritikai gondolkodás: Fejlesszük a felhasználók kritikai gondolkodási képességeit, hogy képesek legyenek felismerni és értékelni a ChatGPT által adott válaszok pontosságát és megbízhatóságát.
2. Ethical Awareness: Raise awareness of ethical issues related to the use of artificial intelligence, including data privacy, copyright issues, and the spread of misinformation.
3. Communication Skills: Improve students' communication skills by emphasizing the importance of clear and precise question formulation through interaction with ChatGPT.
4. Problem Solving: Enhance students' problem-solving abilities, as they will encounter various types of problems that need to be solved while using ChatGPT.
5. Creativity: Encourage students' creativity, for example, by using ChatGPT for storytelling, brainstorming, or various projects.
6. Interdisciplinary Approach: Demonstrate how ChatGPT can be applied in different subjects and fields, such as literature, history, science, and technology.
7. User Skills Development: Ensure that users are capable of effectively using ChatGPT for various tasks, such as text analysis, answering questions, and content creation.

Lifelong Learning: Encourage a lifelong learning mindset, as artificial intelligence is continuously evolving, and understanding and using new technologies will be crucial in the future.
