Keywords: ChatGPT, access, efficiency, employment, education, ethics
1 Introduction
The development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT, has garnered considerable attention across
various fields, particularly healthcare, education, and industry. ChatGPT is a natural language processing model that uses
machine learning algorithms to generate human-like responses to user input. Its advanced language-modeling capabilities
have been shown to enhance access to information, increase productivity, and streamline communication in various fields
(Hopkins et al., 2023; Mattas, 2023). However, the increased use of ChatGPT and similar models has raised ethical and
economic concerns regarding job displacement, privacy, and accountability (Zarifhonarvar, 2023).
In the healthcare sector, ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize patient care and access to information. According to
Hopkins et al. (2023), ChatGPT can serve as an intelligent chatbot to provide patients with accurate and reliable information
regarding their conditions, treatment options, and clinical trials. Some authors suggest that ChatGPT can improve patient
satisfaction and reduce the burden on healthcare providers by automation of routine tasks. In the education sector, ChatGPT
has been shown to enhance the learning experience by provision of personalized and adaptive feedback to students (Baidoo-
Anu & Owusu Ansah, 2023). ChatGPT can also support teachers by provision of automated grading and feedback on student
work, freeing up more time for instructional planning and creative activities. In industry, ChatGPT and similar models are
expected to affect employment by automation of routine tasks, which can lead to job displacement (Felten et al., 2023).
However, the impact of ChatGPT on employment remains uncertain, and some researchers suggest that it can create new job
opportunities in areas such as AI development, data analytics, and ethics (Zarifhonarvar, 2023).
Relying on technological determinism theory and social construction of technology theory, this literature review paper aims to
therefore provide an overview of impacts of ChatGPT on access, efficiency, jobs and education, as well as identify gaps in
existing research and future directions for research in this area. By following rigorous methodology, the literature review
provides a comprehensive overview of current state of research on impacts of ChatGPT.

2 EVANS ET AL.
The justification for this literature review is based on the growing interest in the use of chatbots powered by AI technology like
ChatGPT in various industries and sectors. Potential benefits of ChatGPT have been documented in healthcare (Hopkins et al.,
2023; Sallam, 2023), higher education (Firaina & Sulisworo, 2023; Baidoo-Anu & Owusu Ansah, 2023), ophthalmology
(Antaki et al., 2023), libraries and academia (Lund & Wang, 2023), and labor market (Zarifhonarvar, 2023). Thus, this
literature review aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the potential impacts of ChatGPT on
various sectors and industries.
Furthermore, the significance of this study lies in its comprehensive overview of the current state of research on the use of
ChatGPT in various fields. The review explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of ChatGPT in different contexts, including
healthcare education and research (Sallam, 2023), higher education (Firaina & Sulisworo, 2023; Baidoo-Anu & Owusu Ansah,
2023), and libraries (Lund & Wang, 2023), among others. It also examines economic impact of ChatGPT on different industries
and occupations. The review, therefore, provides valuable insights into the potential of ChatGPT to revolutionize access and
efficiency in different fields (e.g., education), as well as identify knowledge gaps and future research directions.
2 Theoretical Framework
Technological determinism theory argues that technology drives societal change, and individuals have limited control over the
direction of this change. According to Marshal McLuhan, a prominent technological determinist, the impact of technology is
"all-encompassing and thorough in the way it shapes and structures society" (Azam et al., 2020, p. 134). This perspective
suggests that the development and implementation of technology have a significant impact on society and its institutions,
including education, work, and communication (Evans, 2022; Evans & Mesagan, 2022; Evans & Oni, 2022; Guevara, 2022;
Adeola & Evans, 2022; Adeola et al., 2023; Evans, 2023). For example, Guevara's (2022) study of television journalists during
COVID-19 pandemic illustrates how the sudden shift to remote work and use of digital tools for reporting was a result of
technological determinism. Journalists had to adapt to new technologies and ways of working to continue the production of
content, which underscores how technology influences professional practices.
In the context of ChatGPT, technological determinism theory may be applied to argue that the introduction of an AI language
model will have a profound impact on access, efficiency, jobs, and education, regardless of individuals' agency. This theory
suggests that technology has potential to revolutionize various fields, such as healthcare, education, public health, tourism,
and business. However, this also suggests that there are potential negative consequences, such as impact on employment and
data privacy. This theory suggests that the development and implementation of ChatGPT should be guided by a thorough
analysis of its potential impacts, both positive and negative.
Technological determinism theory has, however, been criticized for oversimplifying complex relationship between technology
and society. Diniasti and Haqqu's (2022) analysis of documentary film "The Social Dilemma" demonstrates that reception of
technological determinism among teenagers is not straightforward. While some participants believed that technology has a
deterministic effect on society, others highlighted the role of human agency in technology and its impact.
Therefore, social context and individuals' interpretations of technology play a significant role in its impact on society. This
perspective is consistent with social construction of technology theory, a sociological approach that emphasizes how
technological innovation is shaped by social processes and not just by technological determinism. According to Kwok and Koh
(2021), social construction of technology theory emphasizes the study of social context in which technological innovation takes
place, particularly social values, norms, and power dynamics. This approach acknowledges that design, development, and use
of technology are not neutral, but rather, are shaped by social actors who hold different interests, values, and perspectives.
For example, Varney and May (2021) explored social construction of cross-reality technologies in learning, applying social
construction of technology theory. They found that adoption and use of cross-reality technologies in learning are shaped by
social factors such as educational policies, instructional practices, and user perceptions. They argued that social construction
of technology theory can help identify ways in which social context shapes design, development, and use of new educational
technologies, and can provide insights into how to design technologies that better align with the needs and goals of different
stakeholders.
In the context of ChatGPT, this theory suggests that technology's impact on society is not solely determined by its intrinsic
properties, but is also influenced by societal and cultural factors (e.g., norms and values of organizations and individuals who
use it). This theory suggests that the implementation of ChatGPT should be accompanied by a thorough analysis of social and
cultural context in which it will be used; also the development and implementation of technology should be guided by needs
and values of users. Overall, technological determinism provides a useful framework for analyzing the impact of ChatGPT on
society, but it should be considered in conjunction with other theoretical perspectives, such as social construction of technology
theory to fully understand the complex relationship between technology and society.
3 Methodology
The study employs a literature review approach to synthesize relevant literature on the impacts of ChatGPT on access,
efficiency, jobs, and education. This methodology is suitable for the research objectives, as it will enable identification and
analysis of extant knowledge and best practices in the field (Creswell, 2014). In line with Peters et al. (2020), this approach

BIZECONS QUARTERLY 3
will allow us to systematically search for and screen relevant studies, particularly both quantitative and qualitative research
designs, grey literature, and expert opinions. The inclusion criteria will focus on studies that explore impacts of ChatGPT on
access, efficiency, jobs, and education, published in English language journals from 2022 to 2023.
The initial step in this study involves conduct of a comprehensive review of academic and professional literature related to the
impacts of ChatGPT on access, efficiency, jobs, and education. The review includes journal articles, books, reports, and other
relevant sources, guided by research objectives; the sources are selected based on their relevance to research objectives (Grant
and Booth, 2009; Creswell, 2014). The literature review is conducted via databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, and
ProQuest.
We follow the guidelines proposed by Snyder (2019) and Paul and Criado (2020) for writing a comprehensive literature review.
This includes the synthesis of key findings from included studies, critical evaluation of quality and limitations of research, and
identification of future research directions. These rigorous methodology guidelines provide a comprehensive overview of
current state of research on the impacts of ChatGPT on access, efficiency, jobs, and education, and help identify knowledge
gaps and future research directions.
According to Grant and Booth (2009), an appropriate sample size for a literature review will depend on the research questions,
scope of review, and available resources. For this study, the appropriate sample size for the literature is determined by a
preliminary search to identify the number of relevant studies or articles. 74 articles are identified through a database search
and by review of reference lists of key articles on the topic. This sample size is justified based on fact that studies identified are
of high quality and provide rich and relevant data that address research questions (Bettany-Saltikov, 2010).
According to Fink (2014), there are several sampling techniques that can be used in a literature review, particularly
convenience sampling, random sampling, stratified sampling, and purposive sampling. This study adopts purposive sampling
because it involves selection of studies based on their relevance to research objectives, as determined by researchers’ expertise
and knowledge of field (Fink, 2014). In this study, purposive sampling is accomplished through various methods, for example,
the use of specific keywords to search for relevant studies in databases (e.g., PubMed or Google Scholar). The researchers then
screens the studies based on their relevance to research objectives.
4 ChatGPT Impacts on Access-efficiency
Existing studies cover a wide range of topics related to the ChatGPT impacts on access/efficiency, as shown in Table 1. The
different studies on ChatGPT reveal its potential to transform efficiency in various fields such as education, healthcare,
journalism, and research. One common thread is the potential of ChatGPT to revolutionize access to information. Hopkins et
al. (2023), for example, highlight how ChatGPT can provide cancer patients with 24/7 access to information, support, and
advice; such leads to improvement in their quality of life. Zuccon and Koopman (2023) reported that prompt information
significantly improved accuracy of ChatGPT's answers in health-related questions. Similarly, Noy and Zhang (2023) suggest
that the use of generative AI can increase productivity in certain tasks, such as brainstorming and idea generation. Gabrielson
et al. (2023) found that ChatGPT showed promise in improving efficiency of urologists by reduction of documentation time
and provision of clinical decision support. The findings suggest that the use of ChatGPT to access various fields such as
healthcare, education, and business can have both positive and negative implications. From the perspective of technological
determinism theory, the introduction of ChatGPT can lead to a paradigm shift in healthcare, education, and business which
can lead to the improvement of patients' quality of life by provision of 24/7 access to information, support, and advice. The
increasing use of ChatGPT and similar models therefore has significant potential to impact various fields, including healthcare,
education, and industry.
ChatGPT has had a significant impact on access and efficiency in various industries, particularly customer service, healthcare,
and e-commerce. As a large language model, ChatGPT can be integrated into chatbots and virtual assistants, which can provide
customers with instant and personalized support and information. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also
increases the efficiency of customer service operations. The fact that ChatGPT can handle multiple requests simultaneously
reduces the need for human support agents. ChatGPT can also be used to automate routine and repetitive tasks (e.g., data entry
and scheduling) which further improves operational efficiency.
Moreover, ChatGPT can improve access to information and services for individuals with disabilities or language barriers. For
example, ChatGPT can be used to develop speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools, which make it easier for individuals with
hearing or speech impairments to communicate and access information. Similarly, ChatGPT can be used to develop translation
tools that can assist non-native speakers of a language to understand and communicate in a foreign language. In this way,
ChatGPT can help break down linguistic barriers and promote equal access to information and services.

5 ChatGPT Impacts on Employment
The literature has shown that ChatGPT has the potential to significantly impact labor market and various industries (see Table
2). Felten et al. (2023) predict that technology will lead to job displacement in some sectors while creating new job
opportunities in others; policymakers should prepare for these changes. Zarifhonarvar (2023) finds similar results through
econometric analysis, with emphasis on the need for upskilling and reskilling programs to help workers transition into new
roles. However, Lahvis (2023) argues that the introduction of ChatGPT is likely to exacerbate extant inequalities in labor
market; policymakers should work to ensure that its benefits are distributed equitably. Tiwary (2023) finds that while most
people had a positive view of AI and ChatGPT, concerns were raised about job displacement and ethical considerations.
The social construction of technology theory suggests that ChatGPT's impact on labor market and various industries will
depend on how it is socially constructed and used. While some researchers predict job displacement in some sectors, others
emphasize potential for creating new job opportunities and need for upskilling and reskilling programs to help workers
transition to new roles. Additionally, Lahvis argues that policymakers must ensure that ChatGPT's benefits are distributed
equitably to avoid exacerbating existing inequalities in labor market. Therefore, how society constructs and uses ChatGPT will
determine its impact and whether its benefits are distributed equitably.
As a large language model, ChatGPT has had significant impacts on employment, particularly in the field of natural language
processing and artificial intelligence. The development of such models has led to increased demand for skilled professionals
in these areas, particularly software engineers, data scientists, and linguists. Further, the use of ChatGPT in various industries,
such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce, has led to the creation of new job roles and opportunities. Companies now seek
individuals with experience in natural language processing to develop and implement ChatGPT-based solutions that can
improve business operations, enhance customer experience, and increase productivity.
On the other hand, the use of ChatGPT and other large language models has also raised concerns about the potential
displacement of human workers. As these models become increasingly sophisticated, they have the potential to replace certain
jobs that involve human language processing, such as customer service representatives, content writers, and translators.
However, it is important to note that while ChatGPT can automate certain tasks, it cannot fully replace human intelligence,
creativity, and empathy. Instead, the use of ChatGPT can free up human workers from mundane and repetitive tasks, allowing
them to focus on more complex and higher-value work that requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Therefore,
while there may be some short-term displacement of jobs, the long-term impacts of ChatGPT on employment may lead to the
creation of new and more meaningful job opportunities.

6 ChatGPT Impacts on Education
The impact of ChatGPT on education has been a topic of interest for researchers in different fields (see Table 4). A systematic
review by Sallam (2023) highlighted the potential of ChatGPT in healthcare education, research, and practice; however
concerns about its impact on patient privacy, security, and trust need to be addressed. In contrast, Baidoo-Anu and Owusu
Ansah (2023) conducted a literature review and identified potential benefits of ChatGPT in promoting teaching and learning
in education. ChatGPT has the potential to enhance personalized learning, encourage student engagement, and facilitate the
development of critical thinking skills.
Other researchers have also discussed the potential of ChatGPT in enhancing specific fields, such as science education (Cooper,
2023), medical education (Eysenbach, 2023; Hisan and Amri, 2023), foreign language teaching and learning (Hong, 2023),
and tourism education (Ivanov and Soliman, 2023; Skavronskaya et al., 2023). Kalla and Smith (2023) find that ChatGPT can
enhance research capabilities in various fields, while Atlas (2023) suggests that it can be used for personalized learning,
training, and professional development.
ChatGPT has had significant impacts on education, particularly in the areas of language learning and personalized education.
As a large language model, ChatGPT has the ability to generate natural language responses to a wide range of questions and
prompts, which makes it a valuable tool for language learners. ChatGPT can provide instant feedback, explanations, and
examples. This way it helps learners to improve their grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension. ChatGPT can also be used to
create interactive and engaging learning experiences (e.g., chatbots and virtual assistants), that can personalize the learning
process and adapt to the needs and preferences of individual learners.
Moreover, ChatGPT can also enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of education by provision of support for students with
disabilities or language barriers. For example, ChatGPT can be used to develop speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools, which
make it easier for students with hearing or speech impairments to participate in class. Similarly, ChatGPT can be used to
develop translation tools that can assist non-native speakers of a language to understand and communicate in a foreign

7 ChatGPT Impacts and Ethics
Most of the studies in Table 1-3 suggest that ChatGPT has limitations that need to be considered in practice. Antaki et al. (2023)
reported that ChatGPT can provide accurate information in ophthalmology, but its limitations in understanding context and
tone of conversation need to be addressed. Likewise, Subramani et al. (2023) found that ChatGPT was not able to perform well
in answering medical physiology questions in university examination. It only showed potential in the provision of hints and
the guide to students in their learning process. In context of healthcare, an AI model such as ChatGPT may make
recommendations that are not suitable for certain populations due to underrepresentation of these populations in training
data (Sallam, 2023).
Lund and Wang (2023), and Biswas (2023) argue that it poses ethical concerns such as privacy, bias, and control over data.
Similarly, Arif et al. (2023) discuss ethical concerns about patient privacy, data quality, and accountability. Curtis (2023) raises
concerns about authorship, plagiarism, and the role of human editors and reviewers in academic publishing. Iskender (2023)
emphasizes need to use the technology responsibly, while Taecharungroj (2023) finds that there were concerns about ethical
considerations in public reactions to ChatGPT on Twitter. Homolak (2023) also highlights importance of addressing ethical
and legal considerations in use of ChatGPT. Beerbaum's (2023) conceptual study highlights the need for a Generative Artificial
Intelligence (GAI) Ethics Taxonomy to mitigate ethical risks associated with ChatGPT; the study argues that the use of ChatGPT
in GAI-RPA requires careful consideration of ethical issues.
In line with the reviewed studies, the development and use of ChatGPT has raised numerous ethical concerns, particularly in
areas of privacy, fairness, and transparency. As a large language model that relies on vast amounts of data to generate

BIZECONS QUARTERLY 11
responses, ChatGPT raises questions regarding the collection, storage, and use of personal data. There is a risk that personal
information may be inadvertently shared or misused, which could lead to breaches of privacy and security. Moreso, the use of
ChatGPT in decision-making processes raises concerns about fairness and accountability, as well as the potential for bias and
discrimination.
Further, the development and use of ChatGPT raise broader ethical questions about the role of artificial intelligence in society.
As ChatGPT becomes increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous, it raises questions about its potential impact on employment,
education, and social interaction. There is a risk that the widespread use of ChatGPT may lead to the displacement of certain
jobs, the automation of certain tasks, and the loss of human interaction and socialization. There is also a risk that ChatGPT
may perpetuate existing biases and stereotypes in the data on which it is trained, which might lead to discriminatory outcomes.
Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the ethical implications of ChatGPT and to ensure that it is developed and used
in a way that respects privacy, promotes fairness, and mitigates the potential for bias and discrimination (Beerbaum, 2023;
Iskender, 2023).
However, the use of ChatGPT in education also raises concerns about the potential for over-reliance on technology and the loss
of human interaction and socialization. While ChatGPT can provide valuable feedback and support, it cannot fully replace the
benefits of face-to-face interactions with teachers and peers. The use of ChatGPT in education may also require additional
resources and training for teachers to effectively integrate the technology into the classroom. Therefore, while ChatGPT has
the potential to transform education, it is important to carefully consider its impacts and limitations and to ensure that it is
used in a way that complements, rather than replaces, human teachers and interactions.
8 Discussion
The use of ChatGPT in various fields can bring about both positive and negative implications, and its potential to revolutionize
industries such as healthcare, education, and business must be carefully considered in light of ethical and privacy concerns
(Arif et al., 2023; Biswas, 2023; Curtis, 2023; Lund & Wang, 2023, Taecharungroj, 2023). Technological determinism theory
suggests that the introduction of ChatGPT can lead to a paradigm shift in different sectors, providing 24/7 access to
information, support, and advice, but it also raises concerns about privacy, bias, and control over data. Similarly, in academic
and library settings, ChatGPT can enhance information access and retrieval, personalization, and efficiency, but it can also lead
to overreliance, reduced creativity, and biased outputs. In medical education and research, ChatGPT has significant impacts,
but ethical concerns around patient privacy, data quality, and accountability must be addressed. Ethical guidelines and best
practices must be implemented to mitigate potential risks and ensure responsible use of technology (Arif et al., 2023; Biswas,
2023; Curtis, 2023; Lund & Wang, 2023, Taecharungroj, 2023).
The social construction of technology theory suggests that technology is not neutral, but rather shaped by social and cultural
factors. use of ChatGPT in various domains highlights its potential benefits and challenges, particularly in relation to ethical
concerns, bias, and human oversight. To mitigate these risks, ethical guidelines and best practices must be implemented, and
human involvement should be maintained. This study also identified potential applications of ChatGPT in various domains
such as healthcare, education, and finance. However, the use of ChatGPT in these areas also requires careful consideration of
ethical issues and potential risks. While ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize various fields, ethical concerns and human
oversight must be maintained to ensure its safe and effective use.
Studies on ChatGPT reveal its potential to transform various fields such as education, healthcare, journalism, and research.
However, some studies suggest that ChatGPT has limitations in understanding context and tone of conversation, and it may
not perform well in answering certain types of questions. Moreover, ethical concerns associated with use of ChatGPT, such as
bias and data privacy, need to be addressed.
The use of ChatGPT can save time and effort for researchers, improve the efficiency of library systems, and reduce
documentation time for urologists. However, its potential in transforming fields must be accompanied by responsible use,
addressing its limitations and ethical concerns. According to social construction of technology theory, technology is not an
objective or neutral force, but rather is shaped by social and cultural factors. Studies on ChatGPT highlight the importance of
considering social and ethical concerns and suggest that technology must be integrated and adapted to suit specific contexts
and social practices. The studies on ChatGPT highlight the importance of considering social and cultural factors that shape its
use and impact in different contexts.
The introduction of ChatGPT is expected to have a significant impact on various industries and labor market. According to
technological determinism theory, this impact will be determined by technology itself, independent of social and cultural
factors. While technology is predicted to create new job opportunities in some sectors, it may also displace jobs in others,
highlighting the need for upskilling and reskilling programs. Moreover, ethical considerations such as responsible use of
technology must be addressed to ensure that benefits are distributed equitably and that existing inequalities in labor market
are not exacerbated.
However, social construction of technology theory suggests that impact of ChatGPT on labor market and various industries
will depend on how it is socially constructed and used. While some researchers predict job displacement in some sectors, others
emphasize potential for creating new job opportunities and the need for upskilling and reskilling programs to help workers

12 EVANS ET AL.
transition into new roles. Additionally, positive impact of ChatGPT on various fields, including research, education, and
healthcare, depends on its social construction and use. Its advanced language processing capabilities can be used in various
industries, but ethical considerations must be addressed to use technology responsibly.
In field of education, ChatGPT is expected to have both opportunities and challenges, as identified by social construction of
technology theory. While it has the potential to enhance personalized learning, encourage student engagement, and promote
critical thinking skills, there are concerns about accuracy, reliability, security, privacy, and ethical implications. Educational
institutions need to balance human judgement and machine learning to effectively incorporate ChatGPT in education. A SWOT
analysis has identified its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for educational practice and research, and
educational institutions need to address these factors to effectively incorporate ChatGPT in education.
To prepare for impact of ChatGPT, policymakers and organizations must ensure that benefits are distributed equitably and
ethical considerations are addressed. Educational institutions must balance human judgement and machine learning and
consider ethical implications of using AI in education. impact of ChatGPT on labor market and various industries will depend
on how it is socially constructed and used, and adoption and implementation of ChatGPT will depend on social and cultural
factors. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider implications of using ChatGPT and address any concerns before
implementing it in various fields.
9 Conclusion
The literature review highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with the use of ChatGPT in various fields such
as healthcare, education, and business. The technological determinism theory suggests that ChatGPT has the potential to
revolutionize industries by providing 24/7 access to information, support, and advice. However, ethical concerns around
privacy, bias, and control over data must be considered to ensure responsible use of the technology. The implementation of
ethical guidelines and best practices can help mitigate potential risks and ensure its safe and effective use.
The social construction of technology theory suggests that technology is shaped by social and cultural factors, and therefore,
the impact of ChatGPT on various domains must be considered in light of ethical concerns, bias, and human oversight. The
literature review highlights the various limitations of ChatGPT, particularly in understanding context and tone of the
conversation. The literature reviewed also highlights the need to maintain human involvement and implement ethical
guidelines and best practices to address these concerns. While ChatGPT has the potential to bring significant changes to various
fields, its limitations and ethical concerns need to be carefully considered.
Moreover, in line with the social construction of technology theory, the impact of ChatGPT on the labor market and various
industries will depend on how it is socially constructed and used. While some studies predict job displacement in some sectors,
others emphasize the potential for creating new job opportunities and the need for upskilling and reskilling programs to help
workers transition to new roles. Thus, the positive impact of ChatGPT on various fields, including research, education, and

9.2 Future Research Directions
Despite the numerous benefits and potential applications of ChatGPT, there are still several limitations that need to be
addressed, and future research can help to improve the technology and mitigate potential risks. Some studies suggest that
ChatGPT may struggle to understand the context and tone of the conversation, and may not perform well in answering certain
types of questions. To overcome these limitations, researchers can explore ways to improve the technology's ability to
understand nuances in language and context. Ethical concerns (e.g., biases and data privacy) need to be addressed, and further
research can help to develop ethical guidelines and best practices for the responsible use of ChatGPT. Future research can also
explore the impact of ChatGPT on society and culture, including its potential to exacerbate existing inequalities and impact the
labor market.
In addition to addressing the limitations of ChatGPT, future research can also explore new applications of the technology and
its potential to transform industries and society. For example, the use of ChatGPT in journalism and media can enhance the
efficiency of news production and improve the quality of news reporting. In finance, ChatGPT can be used for risk management
