Abstract

Among the skills required from a university teacher in the 21st century there is utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI) including large language model tools in scientific and pedagogical practice, understanding principles of work with AI and interaction with it, reacting to risks connected to AI utilisation in education. Artificial intelligence based chatbots have become one of the most used technologies in different spheres of human activities. Due to a combination of large language models and generative artificial intelligence chatbots are able to understand data input by a user and generate human-like texts. This has enlarged the spheres of chatbots utilisation, in particular in education, and has led to the 4th place of ChatGPT in Top-100 Tools for Learning Rating in 2023. However, the results of teachers survey at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University on their experience in language models utilisation in their professional activities have shown that 46,6% of respondents do not use large language models based tools, and the number of surveyed teachers for every way of chatbots utilisation does not exceed 25%. The analysis of recent publications has also shown that world scientific society has paid mostattention to studying opportunities provided by ChatGPT. At the same time other large language models and chatbots require deeper study. The article analyses free versions of large language model based chatbots which work with Ukrainian language, their strengths and weaknesses and possible methods of application. The authors considered the Professional Standard for the group of professions "Teachers of higher education institutions" of 2021 and the draft of the Professional Standard "Teacher of higher education institutions" of 2024 and identified the labour functions of teachers of higher education institutions, where large language model chatbots can be used as an auxiliary means. The functions of chatbots in the scientific and pedagogical activity of teachers are highlighted and described, and recommendations are provided for the use of specific tools.
